We study the anchoring mechanism due to substrate-adsorbed ions by examining a related
anchoring transition. An analytical solution to the Poisson equation shows that, as their
number suffices for a non-negligible anchoring contribution, the surface field is screened
over some characteristic microscopic distance. It is shown both theoretically and
experimentally that the critical temperature of the transition can be controlled by bulk ion
density through its relation to the density of adsorbed ions.

Abstract
We study the anchoring mechanism due to substrate-adsorbed ions by examining a related anchoring transition. An analytical solution to the Poisson equation shows that, as their number suffices for a non-negligible anchoring contribution, the surface field is screened over some characteristic microscopic distance. It is shown both theoretically and experimentally that the critical temperature of the transition can be controlled by bulk ion density through its relation to the density of adsorbed ions.
