Maxwell Garnett formalism for weakly nonlinear, bianisotropic, dilute, particulate composite media

The homogenization of a composite medium formed by randomly dispersing elec trically small, weakly nonlinear, bianisotropic, ellipsoidal inclusions in a linear bianisotropic host medium is considered. The effective constitutiv e properties of the homogenized composite medium (HCM) are estimated using the Maxwell Garnett formalism. The linear and nonlinear properties of the H CM are estimated separately because the nonlinearity of the inclusions is w eak and the composite medium is dilute. Whereas previously available result s were confined to simple dielectric media and spherical inclusions, the re ach of the presented formalism is vast and can be significant for numerous technological applications.
