A stratum of mercury is formed in an atmosphere, for example, helium gas. A liquid material is dropped to the surface of the mercury stratum. Since the surface tension of the mercury is larger than that of the liquid material, the liquid material rapidly spreads over the surface of the mercury stratum. As a result, a film is formed or a crystal grows on the surface of the mercury stratum. A DC voltage is applied between the liquid material and the mercury stratum. The resultant capillary electrical phenomenon momentarily spreads the liquid material over the surface of the mercury stratum. Thus, a good film is formed or a good crystal grows. |
