Tetragonal Tungsten Bronzes (TTBs) - an important class of oxides known to exhibit ferroelectricity undergo complex distortions, including rotations of oxygen octahedra, which give rise to either
incommensurately or commensurately modulated superstructures. Many TTBs display broad, frequencydependent relaxor dielectric behaviour rather than sharper frequency-independent normal ferroelectric
anomalies but the exact reasons that favor a particular type of dielectric response for a given composition
remain unclear. In this contribution the influence of incommensurate/commensurate displacive modulations
on the onset of relaxor/ferroelectric behaviour in TTBs is assessed in the context of basic crystal-chemical
factors, such as positional disorder, ionic radii and polarizabilities, and point defects. We present a predictive
crystal-chemical model that rationalizes composition-structure-properties relations for a broad range of TTB
systems.

Building upon international recognition for his pioneering research in microwave, piezoelectric
materials and thin films (over 300 scientific papers, 19 of which have over 100 citations), for the
last few of years Ian has applied his leadership to research into novel industrial processes and
products, developing strong industrial collaborations with device manufacturers (notably
Powerwave Technologies Inc, Sarantel Ltd, GE Thermometrics and Ilika Technologies) leading to
industrial patents, new contracts and new products in the field of sensors, actuators and antennas.
Ian is the Deputy Head of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering where he is also
the Director of Teaching and Learning and Examinations Officer. He was awarded a Personal Chair
at University of Sheffield in 2007 but joined the Faculty of Engineering in 1994, initially as a
PDRA, then as a Lecturer from 1995. He obtained his PhD from the University of Manchester in
1989 and worked as post-doctoral researcher at the University of Essex before joining the
Laboratoire de Ceramique, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne in Switzerland in 1991.
Research Leadership
Ian has been awarded over £20M in career income for engineering research, over £1.5M of which
has been industrially related; he has been Principal or Co-Investigator on 27 EPSRC awards. His
scientific achievements have arisen from the successful delivery of a wide portfolio of large
projects, with a research group of over 15 researchers for the last 15 years. During this time he has
supervised to completion over 40 PhD & MSc students. His publications, over 300 scientific
papers, receive ~900 citations per year; many of these have announced major breakthroughs in
scientific understanding with 19 papers having over 100 citations. His career H-index = 45 (H5 =
31 (Googlescholar). His research leadership in a wide range of functional ceramic disciplines has
been recognized by >60 Invited/Plenary talks at International Conferences on topics such as MW
ceramics, bioceramics, relaxor-ferroectrics and piezoelectrics. Recently, he gave an invited lecture
recent to a multidisciplinary audience on ‘Failure, The Greatest Teacher’ at Electronic Materials
and their Applications in 2015.
Industrial Collaboration
Ian’s personal research is in the development of microwave and piezoelectric materials for
manufacture of electronic devices, principally concerned with sensor, actuator and antenna
applications. He has also published leading papers on functional glasses (see 10 most cited papers).
In the last few years he has established strong working relations with a number of UK based
companies such as Filtronic plc (collaborating on novel filters with the UK operations of this global
leader in wireless communications), Sarantel Ltd (collaborating in novel device concepts and
materials for this UK manufacturer who led globally in the design of miniature GPS antennas),
Morgan Electroceramics (collaborating on their manufacture of piezoelectric and dielectric
materials for devices such as transducers, sensors and actuators), GE Thermometrics (collaborating
on their development of novel thermal sensors for the UK operations of GE Group’s “Measurement
& Control business), Ilika plc (consultancy and development of novel processes for ceramics
manufacture). Ian’s research leadership and personal expertise have resulted in these companies
securing patents (including piezoelectric/microwave ceramics and multilayer metallisations) and
developing several new electronic device products.
