Abstract
We study the linear and nonlinear electric response of heterogeneous systems containing inclusions of arbitrary structure and permanent multipole moments of all orders with L=0 and L=1 pair distributions, within mean field theory. We find that for these distributions only the dipole moments contribute to the effective dielectric function. In particular, we provide the results for inclusions without permanent dipole moments or polarizabilities, and spherical inclusions. We show that the Debye's effective dielectric function represents the linear part of the general result, in the special case of spherical inclusions with isotropic (L=0) pair distributions.
