Abstract

The dependencies of a surface topography of the obliquely deposited layers of ceric oxide (CeO₂) films and amorphous hydrogenated carbon (a-C:H) on an incident angle of a vapor stream have been studied by electron microscopy. The dependence of the alignment of nematic LCs onto CeO₂ layers surface on the relief geometry which correlated with incident angles in interval 60 degree(s) - 85 degree(s) was observed. The surface structure of a-C:H layers depends only substrate surface relief. The smooth surface of a-C:H secures stable parallel alignment nematic LCs independently of incident angles.
