Abstract

A new expression for the second-order dielectric function є(2) (K1,ω1, K2,ω2) is derived from the Vlasov–Poisson equations. The formula is also suitable for the calculation of this quantity in general situations when it is essential to use kinetic theory and when the wave vectors K1 and K2 have arbitrary directions with respect to each other as well as to the external magnetic field. We also consider two earlier formulae for this response function and discuss advantages and disadvantages of the different expressions.
