CALCULATIONS OF GIANT MAGNETOIMPEDANCE AND OF FERROMAGNETIC-RESONANCERESPONSE ARE RIGOROUSLY EQUIVALENT

It is simply demonstrated that the giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) respon se of a plate or ribbon is rigorously equivalent to the response of th e same sample in ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) experiment. Thus, all o f the solutions for FMR response behavior of metals may be applied to the description of GMI. For situations which have not been studied bef ore, the methods which have been developed over the past 40 years for theoretical description of FMR in metals may be applied to predict the GMI behavior.
