1. An inductor comprising:
a core comprising:
a polymer; and
a plurality of ferromagnetic film platelets disposed in the polymer, each ferromagnetic film platelet comprising:
first and second insulator layers; and
a ferromagnetic layer disposed between the first and second insulator layers, the ferromagnetic layer comprising:
a hard ferromagnetic layer having a magnetic coercivity of at least about 100 Oe; and
a soft ferromagnetic layer having a magnetic coercivity of less than or equal to about 1 Oe,
wherein the hard and soft ferromagnetic layers are magnetically coupled; and
a conductive winding that turns around in a spiral manner on an outside of the core.
