The Bruggeman model is also called Effective Medium Approximation (EMA). In this model, the two media play exactly the same role. The effective dielectric function of the mixture is given by the second order equation :
A.G. Bruggeman, Ann. Phys. (Liepzig) 24, 636 (1935)
The two materials plays the same role but they are in interaction. Each type of inclusion is in interaction with the medium (it is supposed nevertheless spherical, depolarization coefficient equal to 1/3 ).
