This thesis probes the techniques involved in the calculation of effective permittivity of thin film nanostructures. Stress is given on the calculation of effective permittivity particularly in the anisotropic environment. Also a detailed investigation of isotropic and anisotropic mediums is performed with respect to the displacement vector and electric field vector. The effective permittivity thus calculated can give evidence of many electrical and optical properties a mixture might possess. During the research a novel method was discovered, which suggests that the effective permittivity might be a vector. Such a vector form of the permittivity is achieved from purely isotropic materials. Thus some anisotropy is achieved by beginning with pure isotropic materials. Generalization of all the equations for the calculation of effective permittivity for multiple kinds of inclusions which further makes the mixture more complex. We have developed a code for these computations which is intended to be very user friendly. We use an input file as an input to this code. All the results are then stored in an output file. The effect due to the shape of the inclusions is also taken into account with depolarization factors. Also the effect of orientation of the inclusions in space is considered and is introduced with the help for eigen vectors.
