             Application No. 10/458,112                                                                           

             The disclosed invention pertains to magnetic materials and, more                                     

             particularly, to magnetic materials having superparamagnetic particles                               

             associated therewith.                                                                                

                    Representative claims 1, 18 and 29 are reproduced as follows:                                 

             1. A magnetic film comprising superparamagnetic particles on at least                                
             one surface thereof configured to affect damping of the magnetic film, one                           
             or more of the superparamagnetic particles comprising a nanoparticle.                                

             18.  A magnetic switching device comprising two magnetic layers with a                               
             barrier layer therebetween, wherein at least one of the magnetic layers                              
             comprises a magnetic film comprising superparamagnetic particles on at                               
             least one surface thereof.                                                                           

             29. A magnetic film comprising at least one superparamagnetic particle                               
             embedded therein.
