⊲ Isotropic: if ε, µ, εd, µd are scalar multiples of I3×3 <strong>and</strong><br />

ξ = ζ = ξd = ζd = 0.<br />

⊲ Anisotropic: if the members of at least one of the pairs ε, εd or µ, µd<br />

are not scalar multiples of I3×3 <strong>and</strong> ξ = ζ = ξd = ζd = 0.<br />

⊲ Biisotropic: if all the blocks of the matrices A or, G d are scalar<br />

multiples of I3×3.<br />

⊲ Bianisotropic: <strong>in</strong> all other cases.<br />
