Disclosed herein are embodiments of high Q, temperature stable materials with low dielectric constants. In one aspect, a low loss dielectric material includes one or more transition metal oxides based on the (Zn, Ni, Co)O—AlO—TiOsystem comprising an aluminate comprising one of cobalt (Co) or nickel (Ni) crystallized in a spinel structure. The low loss dielectric material additionally comprises one or more of: a titanate comprising the one of Co or Ni crystallized in a spinel structure, an aluminum oxide and a titanium oxide crystallized in a rutile structure.

An acoustic wave device is disclosed. The acoustic wave device can include a substrate, an interdigital transducer electrode disposed on the substrate, and a temperature compensation layer over the interdigital transducer electrode. The IDT electrode includes a lower layer, an upper layer, and a buffer layer disposed between the lower layer and the upper layer. A modulus of elasticity of the buffer layer is less than a modulus of elasticity of the upper layer. The buffer layer is configured to release stress between the lower layer and the upper layer caused due to a difference between a coefficient of thermal expansion of the lower layer and a coefficient of thermal expansion of the upper layer.
