Abstract :
The Lichtenecker-Rother logarithmic law of mixing is extended to determine the permittivity and permeability of two-phase chiral media. Relevant formulations express the effective permittivity, permeability and chirality of a two-component mixture formed by chiralic inclusions dispersed in an achiralic host medium, in closed forms. Computed results are compared with existing formulation(s) based on Maxwell-Garnett theory.
