In this letter, we report an experimental demonstration on voltage tunable short wire-pair metamaterial with negative permeability at microwave frequencies. After infiltrated by nematic liquid crystal, magnetic resonance of short wire-pair can be effectively tuned via relatively low static electric field. The results show, by increasing bias voltage from 0 to 100 V, magnetic resonance is continuously and reversibly shifted from 9.91 down to 9.55 GHz. Moreover, the effective permeability of metamaterial, for operation frequency around magnetic resonance, varies from negative to positive values. Numerical analysis has a good agreement with experimental results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
