Abstract: By using a bilayer serial model, the study has shown that heterogeneous piezoelectric structures may exhibit Maxwell-Wagner type piezoelectric relaxation if the constitutent materials possess different dielectric and piezoelectric properties. The model is relevant for a wide range of heterogeneous structures.
