Fig. 6.

The minimum of the negative polarization Pmin and phase angle of the minimum of the negative polarization αmin versus the index a in power-law size distribution of agglomerated debris particles. Open symbols correspond to weakly-absorbing materials with m = 1.6 + 0.0005i and 1.6 + 0.02i; whereas, filled symbols present the case of high absorption m = 1.6 + 0.1i.
