Derivation of Lichtenecker's Logarithmic Mixture Formula From Maxwell's Equations
Abstract
Lichtenecker's logarithmic mixture formula for dielectrics has proven to be a useful practical formulation for determining the effective permittivity of homogenized dielectric mixtures. However, the formula itself has long been regarded as semiempirical in nature without firm theoretical justification. This paper shows that Lichtenecker's formula can be derived by applying Maxwell's equations and the principle of charge conservation to a mixture for which the spatial distribution of shapes and orientations of the components is randomly distributed. Furthermore, the relationship between the Lichtenecker formula and the well-known mixture formulas due to Maxwell-Garnett is demonstrated. Similarly, it is shown that the symmetric mixture formula of Bruggeman can also be obtained from the Lichtenecker formula.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
