The bilocal-approximated strong-property-fluctuation theory (SPFT) was impl
emented in the long-wavelength regime for biaxial bianisotropic and chirofe
rrite composite mediums endowed with ellipsoidal microstructural topology a
nd orientation diversity. Small differences exist between the estimates aff
orded currently by the SPFT on the one hand and the Bruggeman as well as th
e incremental Maxwell Garnett homogenisation formalisms on the other hand -
as functions of volume fraction, inclusion shape, and orientation diversity
. In contrast, the effect of the correlation length is significant, and is
likely to yield to experimental clarification.
