Modern microwave magnetic materials: Recent advances and trends

In recent years, a large variety of microwave magnetic materials has been developed, with different compositions, shapes, and fabrication processes. The physics of the dynamic magnetic responses of these materials is very rich, due to the interplay between the intrinsic magnetic properties of the materials, the domain structure, and dynamic shape effects. These materials are associated to a variety of applications, some of them well-established, for direct interaction with rf waves; others corresponding to etablished uses of magnetic materials, but at higher speeds or higher frequencies; and some in association with hot topics in the magnetic or rf communities including metamaterials, nanoscale structures, and nonlinear devices.
