Abstract.In this article the main characteristics for emerging MnZn-ferrite applications are described on the basis of the new demands they possess on the ferrite material development. A number of recently developed MnZn-ferrite materials is presented together with the main scientific principles lying behind their development. These include: (i) high saturation flux density MnZn-ferrites (i.e. B sat =550 mT at 10 kHz, 1200 A/m, 100 o C),(ii) low power losses MnZn-ferrites (i.e. P v~2 10 mW cm -3 at 100 kHz, 200mT, 100 o C), (iii) MnZn-ferrites with broad temperature stability (i.e. P V <375 mW cm -3 for 25 o C
