According to the school's website, Professor Teddy Forgan's has experienced a career spanning over 40 years. He started in the late 1960's with a study of superconductors. His team studied the properties of quantised magnetic flux lines in "Type-II" superconductors, and their associated vortices of rotating supercurrent. In the late 1970's, Teddy abandoned superconductors for a while to study the then little-understood rare earth metals, where he made major contributions to an understanding of their complex magnetic structures. The 1980's gave way to the study of neutron diffraction as a tool for studying the magnetic properties of materials. He has ample experience with the high-flux reactor.
In the last decade he has made major contributions to the field. He has also used "muon spin rotation" to study magnetism near surfaces. Professor Teddy can take complex information and make it understood through activities so he is often a speaker at colloquia and at major international conferences.
