Abstract:
A method for preparing a alignment layer surface provides a surface on the alignment layer. A chemically modified surfae [117] is formed as a result of quenching and/or ion beam treatment in accordance with the present invention, and reactive gas is introduced to the ion beam to saturate dangling bonds on the surface. Layer [117] is now substantially free from dangling bonds and free radicals which could degrade properties of a liquid crystal display. Now, a substrate [101] is formed for use in a liquid crystal displax device. Another method for preparing an alignment layer. The surface is bombarded with ions and quenched with a reactive component to saturate dangling bonds on the surface.

Abstract:
Superconducting transition metal oxide films are provided which exhibit very high onsets of superconductivity and superconductivity at temperatures in excess of 40.degree.K. These films are produced by vapor deposition processes using pure metal sources for the metals in the superconducting compositions, where the metals include multi-valent nonmagnetic transition metals, rare earth elements, and/or rare earth-like elements and alkaline earth elements. The substrate is exposed to oxygen during vapor deposition, and, offer formation of the film, ambient followed by at least one annealing step in an oxygen ambient and slow cooling over several hours to room temperature. The substrates chosen are not critical as long as they are not adversely reactive with the superconducting oxide film. Transition metals include Cu, Ni, Ti, and V, while the rare earth-like elements include Y, Sc, and La. The alkaline earth elements include Ca, Ba, and Sr.
