Theory of bianisotropic crystal lattices

Bianisotropic media may be characterized as a general class of linear media which exhibit so-called magnetoelectric coupling between the electric and magnetic fields. Bianisotropic composites are attracting considerable attention in view of their potential usefulness and new fundamental problems. A bianisotropic crystal lattice is one of the interesting structures of such materials. In this paper, we developed approaches for an analysis of static and dynamical models of bianisotropic crystal lattices. The static model is based on the Lorenz-Lorentz theory. The dynamical theory is based on the use of the so-called sampling theorem similar to the approach developed by the author for dielectric crystals.
