Soft magnetic cores play a crucial role in RF applications. Traditionally, materials like silicon steel, ferrite, and amorphous cores have dominated the solutions available. However, a promising alternative has emerged in the form of nanocrystalline cores, vs these conventional soft magnetic cores, offering a paradigm shift in performance and efficiency. Nanocrystalline Core Basics and Properties Nanocrystalline materials are characterized by extremely small grain sizes, typically in the nanometer range. These materials boast remarkable properties compared to conventional soft magnetic cores. Exhibiting significantly lower losses with a staggering 1000 times reduction compared to Silicon Iron (SiFe) cores, nanocrystalline cores feature high…
