Abstract
Advanced soft magnetic materials are needed to match highpower density and switching frequencies made possible by advances in wide bandgap semiconductors Magnetics capable of operating at higher operating frequencies have the potential to greatly reduce the size of megawatt level power electronics In this article we examine the role of soft magnetic materials in highfrequency power applications and we discuss current material’s limitations and highlight emerging trends in soft magnetic material design for highfrequency and power applications using the materials paradigm of synthesis → structure → property → performance relationshipsDisclaimer This report was prepared as an account of work sponsored by an agency of the United States Government Neither the United States Government nor any agency thereof nor any of their employees makes any warranty express or implied or assumes any legal liability or responsibility for the accuracy completeness or usefulness of any information apparatus product or process disclosed or represents that its use would not infringe privately owned rights Reference herein to any specific commercial product process or service by trade name trademark manufacturer or otherwise does not necessarily constitute or imply its endorsement recommendation or favoring by the United States Government or any agency thereof The views and opinions of authors expressed herein do not necessarily state or reflect those of the United States Government or any agency thereof
