The two-dimension scattering patterns for sphere (a/b = 1) (a), oblate ellipsoid (a/b = 1.6) (b), and prolate ellipsoid (a/b = 4.2) (c) dielectric nanoparticles with same n = 2.5, consisting of both p-polarized and s-polarized components. The corresponding electric field distributions around the nanoparticles of sphere (a/b = 1) (d), oblate ellipsoid (a/b = 1.6) (e), and prolate ellipsoid (a/b = 4.2) (f)
