| piezoelectricity |
Because some atomic lattice structures have as an essential unit (or "cell") a cubic or rhomboid cage made of atoms, and this cage holds a single semi-mobile ion which has several stable quantum position states inside the cell. The ion's post ion state can be caused to shift by either deforming the cage (applied strain) or by applying and electric field. ...

| piezoelectric |
A piezoelectric material expands or contracts when a voltage is applied across it. Piezoelectric tubes are often used to move the tip in an AFM or STM. If a piezoelectric crystal is compressed, a voltage appears across it. This effect is sometimes used to measure displacements. A commonly used piezoelectric is PZT (Pb,Zr)TiO 3 .
