1. Spin ice and demagnetising theory
Abstract : Frustration, or the inability to simultaneously minimise all local interactions is, a phenomenon occurring in a broad number of physical systems. We will in this thesis focus on a class of frustrated ferromagnetic materials called spin ices and how both numerical and experimental techniques can be used to understand their properties. READ MORE

2. Spin ice under uniaxial pressure and magnetic frustration in garnets
Abstract : Frustration is the inability to simultaneously satisfy all interactions. The interest in magnetic frustration has grown during the last decades. The research has among other findings been promoted by the discovery of spin ice which is a frustrated magnetic compound with an exotic ground state and unusual excitations. READ MORE

3. The Extremes of Neutrino Astronomy : From Fermi Bubbles with IceCube to Ice Studies with ARIANNA
Abstract : The Fermi bubbles are extended regions of hard gamma-ray emission which were discovered with Fermi-LAT data to exist above and below the Galactic Center. In order to explain the origin of the gamma-rays, different theories are proposed. READ MORE

4. A Search for Solar Neutralino Dark Matter with the AMANDA-II Neutrino Telescope
Abstract : A relic density of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) remaining from the Big Bang constitutes a promising solution to the Dark Matter problem. It is possible for such WIMPs to be trapped by and accumulate in gravitational potentials of massive dense objects such as the Sun. READ MORE

5. A search for solar dark matter with the IceCube neutrino telescope
Abstract : Dark matter particles in the form of supersymmetric Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) could accumulate in the centre of the Sun because of gravitational trapping. Pair-wise annihilations of WIMPs could create standard model particles out of which neutrinos could reach the Earth. READ MORE
