Definitions used of the depolarization tensor.

Sphere	$\overline{\overline{\mathbf{L}}}=\frac{1}{3}\left({\overline{V}}_1{\overline{V}}_1^T+{\overline{V}}_2{\overline{V}}_2^T+{\overline{V}}_3{\overline{V}}_3^T\right)$
Slab	$\overline{\overline{\mathbf{L}}}={\overline{V}}_1{\overline{V}}_1^T$
Needle	$\overline{\overline{\mathbf{L}}}=\frac{1}{2}\left({\overline{V}}_2{\overline{V}}_2^T+{\overline{V}}_3{\overline{V}}_3^T\right)$
Ellipsoid	$\overline{\overline{\mathbf{L}}}=a{\overline{V}}_1{\overline{V}}_1^T+b{\overline{V}}_2{\overline{V}}_2^T+b{\overline{V}}_3{\overline{V}}_3^T$
