摘要:
A spherical grid for use in instrumentation comprising a rigid non-magnetic frame having a pattern of holes. Into each hole a flat wafer is placed, each wafer having etched therein holes defining the grid mesh. The frame maintains the geometric conformal shape allowing large units to be constructed.

Apparatus using amorphous magnetic compositions having uniaxial anisotropy include bubble domain apparatus, light modulating apparatus, permanent magnet systems, and tape and disc information handling systems. The amorphous magnetic composition can be prepared in thin film or bulk form or as particles in a binder. The anisotropy can be parallel to the plane of a film of this material or perpendicular to the film plane. The amorphous material is comprised of a single element or is a multicomponent system where as at least one of the components has an unimpaired spin so that the composition has a net magnetic moment. The amorphous composition exists as a microcrystalline structure having localized atomic ordering over a distance 25-100 A, or as a substantially amorphous structure where localized atomic ordering is over distances less than 25A. Binary and ternary compositions, either alloys or compounds, are suitable. The magnetic properties of the compositions can be changed during fabrication or after fabrication, and the compositions can be doped readily without adversely affecting magnetic properties.

The present invention describes an ion source which is capable of producing relatively high density ion currents. The ion source employs an electrically biased ionic conductor to supply ions from a reservoir of the atomic species.
摘要:
A beam addressable file using as a storage medium an amorphous magnetic composition having uniaxial anisotropy. The storage medium can be prepared in thin film or bulk form or as particles in a binder. The storage medium can be comprised of a single element or a multicomponent system where at least one of the components has an unpaired spin so that the composition has a net magnetic moment. The storage comosition exists in a microcrystalline structure (i.e., it has localized atomic ordering over a distance 25-100 angstroms) and also in a substantially amorphous structure (i.e., when the composition has localized atomic ordering only over distances less than 25 angstroms). Binary and ternary compositions, either alloys or compounds, are suitable. particularly good examples are combinations of rare earth elements and transition metal elements. The magnetic properties of these amorphous magnetic compositions are easily changed during fabrication or after fabrication, and the compositions can be doped readily without adversely affecting magnetic properties. Either electron beams or light beams can be used to write information into the storage medium and optical readout is generally preferred. Curie point writing or compensation point writing is used.
摘要:
Bombardment of the surface of a substrate with a film layer is used to create alignment layers for liquid crystal displays. By using bombardment of the surface at an angle, both direct creation of the alignment layer or indirect deposition of the alignment layer material onto a glass plate can be achieved.
摘要:
The present invention is a method for forming a liquid-crystal cell of a liquid-crystal display. Initially, a dry processed alignment film is deposited onto a first transparent substrate using a dry processing technique, such as plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). The dry processed alignment film is then irradiated with a beam of atoms to arrange the atomic structure of the alignment film in at least one desired direction in order to orient the liquid-crystal molecules. Another dry processed alignment film is deposited on a second substrate using a dry processing technique and, likewise, irradiated with a beam of atoms. The first transparent substrate and the second substrate are then sandwiched together with their respective alignment films spaced adjacent to each other. The space between the films is then filled with a liquid-crystal material.
摘要:
A self-alignment process for the precise alignment in a deposited diamond-like carbon (DLC), which results in a wider viewing angle for the display being manufactured. The process involves ion bombardment, which is swept across the liquid crystal panel in a two-pass process. In one embodiment, both ion sweeps are aligned at a 45-degree angle with respect to the bottom edge of the panel. The first pass is accomplished without any electrical bias on the panel. During the first pass the impinging ions may be at an angle with respect to a point on a plane defined by the surface of the panel that is less than 90 degrees. The second ion sweep is accomplished with the impinging ions at a second angle, greater than 90 degrees up to 180 degrees with respect to the point on the plane defined by the surface.
摘要:
An apparatus for depositing and aligning an amorphous film in a single step, a method of forming an aligned film on a substrate in a single step by combining the deposition and alignment of an alignment layer into a single-step using ion beam processing and an amorphous film having an aligned atomic structure prepared by a method in which an aligned film is deposited and aligned in a single step are provided. The film is deposited and aligned in a single step by bombarding a substrate with an ion beam at a designated incident angle to simultaneously (a) deposit the film onto the substrate and (b) arrange an atomic structure of the film in at least one predetermined aligned direction.
摘要:
The present invention provides a substrate having thereon a patterned small molecule organic semiconductor layer. The present invention also provides a method and a system for producing a substrate having thereon a patterned small molecule organic semiconductor layer. The substrate having thereon a patterned small molecule organic semiconductor layer is produced by exposing a donor substrate having thereon a small molecule organic semiconductor layer to energy to cause the thermal transfer of a small organic molecule onto an acceptor substrate.
摘要:
A molecular manipulator includes a light-sensitive molecule, including a double bond, which changes a cis-trans configuration of the double bond in response to illumination by light of a selected wavelength, and a probe, for example, a probe of a scanned-proximity probe microscope, to which the light-sensitive molecule is attached. A method of making the molecular manipulator includes covalently bonding the light-sensitive molecule to the probe. A method of moving a nanostructure includes controllably grasping, moving, and releasing the nanostructure with the molecular manipulator.
