Revisiting the Characterization of the Losses in Piezoelectric Materials from Impedance Spectroscopy at Resonance

Electronic devices using the piezoelectric effect contain piezoelectric materials: often crystals, but in many cases poled ferroelectric ceramics (piezoceramics), polymers or composites. On the one hand, these materials exhibit non-negligible losses, not only dielectric, but also mechanical and piez...
