22. FNI 1A22 Piezoelectric tube scanner Piezoelectric materials are used to create a tube scanner. This forms one of the basic components of scanning probe microscopes. These can be used to manipulate an object in three dimensions under electronic control.

23. FNI 1A23 Piezoelectric Effect Certain materials exhibit what is called the piezoelectric effect. (Demo) This is an effect where changing the size of an object results in a voltage being generated by the object. Conversely when a voltage is applied to a piezoelectric object then the size of the object changes.

24. FNI 1A24 Piezoelectric Effect Piezoelectric materials have an asymmetric unit cell like a dipole. If these crystals are grown in the presence of a strong electric field then the crystal grains will align and the piezoelectric effect is created. PZT: Lead zirconium titanate is one of the most common piezoelectric materials.

25. FNI 1A25 Unit Cell with Dipole Cubic T > T c Tetragonal T < T c The central atom is displaced resulting in a unit cell with a dipole moment.
