Focusing on homogenisation principles and mixing rules, this book explores the macroscopic dielectric and magnetic properties of various media. It delves into the influence of structural characteristics and anisotropy, providing an in-depth analysis of mixtures that include chiral and nonlinear materials. The detailed examination of these concepts makes it a valuable resource for understanding complex material behaviors in electromagnetic contexts.
