Abstract

We studied homeotropic alignment effect for a nematic liquid crystal (NLC) on the $SiO_x$, thin film irradiated by the new ion beam method $SiO_x$ thin films were deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) and were treated by the DuoPIGatron ion source. A uniform liquid crystal alignment effect was achieved over 2100 eV ion beam energy. Tilt angle were about $90^{\circ}$ and were not affected by various ion beam energy.
