enviBUILD 2012
Eds. Miloš Kalousek, Martin Němeček et al.
Indoor quality of buildings has a direct impact on its inhabitants. The
design of a building needs should include a healthy environment and
if possible include application of building materials which are free
of harmful substances and allow a low energy design. The building
industry nowadays should concentrate on low energy buildings and put
emphasis on natural materials and renewable resources, so todays aim
is to decrease the energy requirements and contribute to a healthier
indoor environment in buildings and to sustainable development. The
peer reviewed papers are grouped as follows: Chapter 1: Near Zero
Energy Buildings; Chapter 2: Quality of Indoor Environment; Chapter
3: Heat Storage and Energy Savings; Chapter 4: Effective Ventilation;
Chapter 5: Integration of Renewable Energy Sources; Chapter 6:
Natural and Environmental Friendly Building Materials; Chapter 7:
Noise Protection; Chapter 8: Building Simulation.

Ferrites and Ceramic Composites
Eds. Rajshree B. Jotania and Hardev S. Virk
The Ferrite term is used to refer to all magnetic oxides containing iron
as major metallic component. Ferrites are very attractive materials
because they simultaneously show high resistivity and high saturation
magnetization, and attract now considerable attention, because of the
interesting physics involved. Typical ferrite material possesses excellent
chemical stability, high corrosion resistivity, magneto-crystalline
anisotropy, magneto-striction, and magneto-optical properties. Ferrites
belong to the group of ferrimagnetic oxides, and include rare-earth
garnets and ortho–ferrites. Several new hard and soft ferrites, garnets
and their composite systems have been developed during recent
years, with very large potential applications, which include bio-sensors,
targeted drug delivery, magnetic imaging pigments, anti radar coating,
microwave components, transparent magnetic plastics, etc. From
physical point of view, ferrites present an extremely interesting class
of systems with challenging problems. Hence this special volume was
prepared with focus on some of these topics of interest to university
researchers and entrepreneurs in industry.

Ferroics and Multiferroics
Eds. Hardev Singh Virk and Wolfgang Kleemann
Multiferroics: that is, materials which simultaneously exhibit both
ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity - and also often ferroelasticity -
now attract considerable attention because of the interesting physics
involved and their promise for important practical applications. Typical
multiferroics belong to the perovskite group of transition metal oxides,
and include rare-earth manganites and ferrites. Several new multiferroic
systems have been developed, during recent years, which exhibit
very strong coupling between the ferroelectric and magnetic degrees
of freedom. The present volume comprises both review articles, and
research papers on various themes; with very little overlap. The authors
of the review papers have generally kept in mind the unfamiliarity, of
the field of ‘Ferroics and Multiferroics’, to newcomers. They cover the
historical development of the field, and add their own contributions.
