Abstract

A theory is developed for calculating the electromagnetic (EM) eigenstates of Maxwell's equations for a two-constituent composite where the magnetic permeability as well as the electric permittivity have different uniform values in the two constituents. The physical electric field E(r) produced in the system by a given source current density is expanded in this set of bi- orthogonal eigenstates for any position r. Once all these eigenstates are known for a given host and a given microstructure then calculation of E(r) only involves performing three-dimensional integrals of known functions and solving sets of linear algebraic equations.
