Notes: Variable oblique alignment of nematic liquid crystals has been achieved on microscopically inhomogeneous surfaces. The surfaces consist of small patches favoring vertical (homeotropic) alignment surrounded by a matrix favoring a planar alignment. The construction of these surfaces employs randomly distributed microscopic metal islands formed by certain metals as vapor-deposited films. Larger scale periodic patterns were made as well to verify the techniques. The results are interpreted in terms of a continuum elasticity theory and azimuthal degeneracy is also discussed.
