In this article we deal with the problem of distributing two conducting materials in a given domain, with their proportions being fixed, so as to minimize the first eigenvalue of a Dirichlet operator. When the design region is a ball, it is known that there is an optimal distribution of materials which does not involve the mixing of the materials. However, the optimal configuration even in this simple case is not known. As a step in the resolution of this problem, in this paper, we develop the shape derivative analysis for this two-phase eigenvalue problem in a general domain. We also obtain a formula for the shape derivative in the form of a boundary integral and obtain a simple expression for it in the case of a ball. We then present some numerical calculations to support our conjecture that the optimal distribution in a ball should consist in putting the material with higher conductivity in a concentric ball at the centre.
