Here we employ the Newman-Penrose formalism to obtain the Lanczos potential for some metrics of interest in general relativity.

Here we employ the Newman-Penrose (NP) technique (Newman and Penrose,1962; Cambell and Wainwright,1977; and Kramer et al., 1980) to obtain Kabc for several gravitational fields.

Here, we obtain the Lanczos spintensor for some well known spacetimes, which is equivalent to solve Equation 22 for a given geometry. In the following, we write the null tetrad for each case, and only when it is necessary we show some spin coefficients; knowing
