We investigated the microwave properties of polymer based metacomposites containing hybridized parallel Fe- and Co-based microwire arrays. A dual-band left-handed feature was observed in the frequency bands of 1.5 to 5.5 GHz and 9 to 17 GHz, indicate
d by two transmission windows associated with ferromagnetic resonance of Fe-based microwires and long range dipolar resonance between the wire arrays. The plasma frequency after hybridization is significantly increased due to the enhanced effective diameter through the wire-wire interactions between the Fe- and Co- microwire couples. These results offer essential perspectives in designing the multi-band metamaterial for microwave applications such as sensors and cloaking devices.
