Self-inductance and loop inductance are the most common and mean the same thing.
The self-inductance changes proportionally to the cross sectional area of the band, producing a resonant frequency in the oscillation circuit.
The substantial high frequency performance improvement seen is due to the high capacitance density and more importantly, to the low self-inductance of the ultra-thin material.
