Lead magnesium niobate (Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 or PMN) exhibits many attractive properties required by actuators for precision submicron control. At room temperature hysteresis is negligible, thermal expansion is less than 1 microstrain degrees C-1, and th

First and foremost, an optical material must be able to be cost effectively made to the desired size and shape and then be polished to optical tolerances. Over the past 15 years, reaction bonded silicon carbide has been scaled from 2 inches to 1.2 me

Energy density is the key to higher authority actuators. New generation electroceramics, such as temperature stabilized lead magnesium niobate (PMN), generate large forces which can do work in adaptive structures. Ever increasing induced- strains and
