turing a position noise of 0.5 nm with
capacitive sensors and 3 nm with
strain gauges, the system achieves
high accuracy in advanced applica-
tions. This piezo stage can be paired
with LC.400 series DSP controllers for
closed-loop capability. It has a travel
of 100 µm in the
z
axis and can also
be used in
x
and
y
configurations. A
resonant frequency of 1000 Hz enables fast scan-
ning and settling times less than 3 ms. The stage has high
stiffness for greater resonant frequencies, even with heavy
loads. Applications include optical microscopy, lithography,
nm-scale manipulation, metrology, materials testing, and
optical fiber alignment.

Oxford Instruments Asylum Research, Santa Barbara,
Calif., announces a powerful new
nanomechanical im-
aging technique,
AM-FM Viscoelastic
Mapping Mode, for
its entire line of
Cypher and MFP-
3D atomic force mi-
croscopes. The new
mode lets users
quickly and gently
image viscoelastic
properties including
storage modulus
and loss tangent
with nanoscale spa-
tial resolution. The
imaging mode is
suitable for quanti-
tative nanomechan-
ical measurements on materials such as polymers,
composites, biomaterials, ceramics, and metals. One reso-
nance is used for tapping mode imaging, also known as
amplitude modulation (AM), while a higher resonance
mode is operated in frequency modulation (FM).

In a
new white paper,
Superior Technical Ceramics, St.
Albans., Vt., out-
lines how ceria sta-
bilized
zirconia
(CSZ) is more re-
sistant to low-temperature degradation than yttria-stabilized
tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (YTZP) and magnesia stabi-
lized zirconia (MSZ). The key factor that separates CSZ from
other zirconias is that there are no oxygen vacancies to
make the tetragonal phase vulnerable in moist environ-
ments. No oxygen defects form in CSZ because the tetrava-
lent cerium substitutes the Zr4+ ions directly. The paper also
highlights the properties, specifications, and applications of
CSZ and is available free of charge on the company’s web-
site.

TEACHING PROFESSOR POSITION in MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science University of California, Davis We wish to appoint a tenure-track TEACHING PROFESSOR with versatile education and teaching responsibilities. The successful can- didate will teach undergraduate materials science and engineering courses and develop new courses to broaden the diversity of offerings in MSE to enrich the UC Davis educational experience and increase diversity/inclusion. She/he will take the leadership role and work col- legially with current MSE faculty to create innovations in curriculum development, and inspire outreach and communication to further rap- idly increase our MSE undergraduate enrollment. Candidates must have a Ph.D. degree in materials science and en- gineering or a closely related field, and a bachelors degree from an ABET accredited materials science and engineering program is strongly preferred. They should be enthusiastic about MSE in all its di- mensions as demonstrated by some breadth of experience in creat- ing and teaching courses or other scholarly engineering education activities such as organizing written student manuals for materials lab- oratory courses. Familiarity with ABET procedures, online instruction, recruitment activities and student advising will be an asset. We ex- pect the candidate to be able to teach most of the courses in our un- dergraduate materials science and engineering curriculum as well as develop newer seminars/courses with broad appeal in areas that in- fluence engineering education (e.g. report writing skills, presentation of undergraduate and graduate research, professional ethics, literature searches, internships, resumes and job searches). Consult http://chms.engineering.ucdavis.edu/ for our on-line appli- cation procedure and requirements. The position is open until filled; but to assure full consideration, applications should be submitted no later than 5pm October 31, 2014, for a start date of July 1, 2015. UC Davis is an affirmative action / equal opportunity employer, and is dedicated to recruiting a diverse faculty community. We welcome all qualified applicants to apply, including women, minorities, individuals with disabilities, and veterans.
