Abstract
We demonstrate significant tunability of the plasma frequency in a wire medium by mechanically deforming a lattice of parallel metallic wires arranged at the nodes of a honeycomb structure. Numerical simulations predict up to 78% tunability and a proof-of-concept experiment confirms 64%, surpassing previously reported values for tunable wire media.
