title: Electronic micropositioning with ferroelastic-ferroelectrics.
abstract: The change in crystal shape which accompanies domain wall motion in a coupled ferroelastic-ferroelectric crystal such as beta-gadolinium molybdate can be utilized for precise micropositioning under electronic control. The displacement available from such a crystal is 10 to 100 times greater than a piezoelectric element of similar dimensions can provide.
