Tunable Epsilon‐and‐Mu‐Near‐Zero Metacomposites.

Epsilon‐and‐mu‐near‐zero (EMNZ) metamaterials have garnered significant attention in near‐zero‐parameter metamaterial research for their exceptional ability to attain concurrent near‐zero permittivity and permeability. Nowadays achieving EMNZ properties through the use of metacomposites remains a novel endeavor. Presented here is an innovative approach of near‐zero‐parameter metacomposites, illustrating excellent and tunable EMNZ properties in the radio frequency regime. The self‐organization approach is applied to construct the conductive 3D network and the circuits, serving as the underlying framework for achieving EMNZ properties. Near‐zero permeability is effectively maintained while permittivity reaches epsilon‐near‐zero frequency regime. Efficient manipulation of electromagnetic parameters is initially realized via adjusting component content in metacomposites. Significantly, an excellent EMNZ property is observed as carbon content reaches 15 wt.% at 915 MHz. Through both numerical simulations and experimental testing, the PGC metacomposites have exhibited tunneling effects and directional emission characteristics, confirming their EMNZ properties. Besides, the Lego‐like adjustment facilitates the achievement of EMNZ property and advances the EMNZ frequency point to 700 MHz, expanding the EMNZ range. Furthermore, thanks to the remarkable excitation effect of photo‐induced adjustment, the metacomposite with low‐carbon content also achieves extraordinary EMNZ properties. This research offers promising self‐organized EMNZ metacomposites and lays the foundation for future endeavors in precisely adjusting near‐zero parameters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
