In the original publication of this article the author noticed some important corrections.

$${\text{VELF}}= - \operatorname{Im} \left( {\frac{1}{{{\varepsilon ^*}}}} \right)=\frac{{2{n_{{\text{MV}}}} \cdot {k_{{\text{MV}}}}}}{{{{\left[ {n_{{{\text{MV}}}}^{2} - k_{{{\text{MV}}}}^{2}} \right]}^2}+{{\left[ {2{n_{{\text{MV}}}} \cdot {k_{{\text{MV}}}}} \right]}^2}}}~,$$

$${\text{SELF}}= - \operatorname{Im} \left( {\frac{1}{{{\varepsilon ^*}+1}}} \right)=\frac{{2nk}}{{{{\left[ {n_{{{\text{MV}}}}^{2} - k_{{{\text{MV}}}}^{2}+1} \right]}^2}+{{\left[ {2{n_{{\text{MV}}}} \cdot {k_{{\text{MV}}}}} \right]}^2}}}~,$$

where n and k must be changed to n_MV and k_MV
