This paper explores the latest advancements in magnetic materials suitable for particle acceleration, focusing on amorphous and nanocrystalline alloys. It compares historical and current materials like ferrites and Fe-based alloys, highlighting their low Q-factor, high operating flux densities, and capability to suppress coupled bunch instabilities. Large core production techniques and the importance of controlled winding tension for optimal performance are discussed, with a recommendation for broader availability of specialized core materials to meet specific cavity requirements in particle accelerators.
