Abstract
The status of the giant magneto-impedance effect is reviewed in wires, ribbons, and multilayered soft ferromagnetic thin films. After establishing the theoretical framework for the description of the effect, and the constraints any material should have in order to show the effect, experimental work in wires, ribbons, and multilayered thin films is described. Existing and potential applications of the effect in electronics and sensing are highlighted.
