Original title in Czech: Fyzikální chemieFCHAbbreviation: DPCPO_FCH_4Acad. year: 2016/2017
Programme: Physical Chemistry
Length of Study: 4 years
Accredited from: 16.10.2009Accredited until: 31.5.2024
Profile
The main objective of the study is to train the highly qualified professionals who will be prepared for independent, creative, scientific and research activities in the field of physical chemistry. Students are trained to formulate a scientific problem independently, propose hypotheses and procedures leading to its solving and attempt its confirmation on an experimental or theoretical level. Critical evaluation of published scientific information and the ability to communicate in English - both verbally and in written form, makes an integral part of the study.
Key learning outcomes
Occupational profiles of graduates with examples
The specialization trains professionals who will be able to participate in highly qualified scientific and research activities based on physically-chemical processes, namely in university departments, the departments of The Academy of Sciences, research institutes, but also in industrial research centres. The graduates are prepared for independent creative work in the area of physical chemistry. Due to a wide range of practical applications of physical chemistry, the graduates can find employments not only in physical and chemical research, but virtually in all chemical or chemistry related specializations.
Entry requirements
The admission to the Faculty of Chemistry is conditioned by the completion of the Master's program in the same or a related field. The basic prerequisites for the admission are: interest and aptitude for scientific work, knowledge of the English language and a very good study record achieved in the Master's program (grade point average of all passed examinations usually does not exceed 2.0).

Work will be focused on the study of electron processes in hybrid organic-inorganic solar cells. Particular attention will be paid to cells based on perovskite crystal structure. The relationship between the solar cell structure, used materials, and the architecture of the cells with respect to photogeneration processes, transport and recombination of charge carriers will be investigated. The work includes characterization of new materials, the study of energetic interactions using optical and electrical techniques, construction of model solar cells and their components, and their characterization.

The proposed research work will deal with the study of charge transport properties of various organic semiconductors. In order to determine the electrical conduction mechanisms that occur between localized states as well as through the semiconducting polymer/metal interface, charge transport will be studied at various conditions (e.g. by measuring the thermal variation of the electrical conductivity and current-voltage characteristics of the conductor/organic semiconductor/conductor sandwich structure). One of the goals is to get correlations between structural and electrical properties. Evidences on structural properties will be analyzed with the help of spectral methods such as FTIR, UV visible, etc., and thermal analyses will be taken into account.
Humic complexes will be prepared and tested in point of view their chemical and thermal analysis.
Ultrasound spectroscopy and titration microcalorimetry in interaction research, and in relation to active sites of hyaluronan cell receptors.
Study of restrictions put by non-equilibrium thermodynamics on kinetics of chemical reactions and reaction-diffusion systems in well defined material models.
The work will be focused on the study of the relationship between molecular structure and nonlinear optical properties, in particular multi-photon absorption. Among the studied features will be light absorption, fluorescence quantum yield and lifetime, and determination of multi-photon absorption cross-sections and spectra. The experimental work will be based on steady state optical spectroscopy as well as on time resolved techniques including laser-based techniques. The scope of work will also include the study of materials properties for multi-photon microscopy and 3D printing with high resolution.

Study of mechanic and flow properties of API and their influence on technological procesing
The aim of this work is characterization of chemical processes initiated by electrical discharges in liquids and in interaction with liquids. Work will focus on water solutions as well as organic solutions. Besides the discharge products, the plasma diagnostics will be carried out.
The research work will focused on the study of thermal properties of materials used for heat storage based on phase change materials. The experimental part will focus on the measurement of heat accumulation in different materials by using of dot and surface temperature sensors (e.g. thermocouples, thermocamera). The new method based on the measurements of temperature responses to pulse or jump of the heat supplied to enable a comprehensive assessment of the substance properties will be used. To measure the absorption and emission properties listed PCM materials will be used thermocamera. The data processing will be performed using the methods of image analysis.
