Magnetic elements having unique shapes. In one example, the magnetic element defines an outer peripheral profile and a center point, wherein the outer peripheral profile includes a substantially curviform section and a notch section. The notch section may be configured to radially extend to at least the center point. In another example, a substantially circular or oval-shaped magnetic element defines an outer periphery and a gap void having an open end facing the outer periphery so as to form a gap along the outer periphery. The magnetic element optionally may not include an annular void that is spatially isolated from the gap void.

Methods for manufacturing a powder of a dielectric compound include mixing particle components that are combinable to form the dielectric compound with matrix components. The mixture is melted, and the molten mixture is quenched to produce a solid material. The dielectric power is extracted from the solid material. A molar ratio of particle components to matrix components can be selected so that the solid material produced by quenching is amorphous. Particle components can be selected to produce Ba Sr TiO powder, wherein 0&lE;x&lE;1. Matrix components consist essentially of Na O&middot;2B O and Na O&middot;SiO &middot;9H O or can be selected from a group consisting of zinc oxide, zinc carbonate, and zinc hydroxide.
