Amorphous: no organized grain (crystal) structure, essentially you could say this material has a grain size of zero. Soft magnets made from amorphous metal glass have a high permeability. The problem is that this material usually has a high resistivity which creates higher hysteresis and eddy current losses.

I was under the impression that higher resistivity results in LOWER eddy current losses.
