Polarizability of dielectric circular cylinder

This applet calculates the normalized (divided by volume and permittivity of empty space) polarizability of the dielectric circular cylinder having the relative permittivity e and length to diameter ratio d. Note that the polarizability is uniaxially anisotropic, and the polarizability components are different in the axial (z) and transversal (t) directions. The digits shown are correct.
