GENERALIZED MAGNETO-IONIC THEORY FOR STRONG ELECTRIC FIELDS,

Abstract

The generalized magneto-ionic theory (Sen and Wyller, 1960) with velocity dependent electron-neutral collisions is considered here for strong electric fields which significantly alter the isotropic part of the electron distribution function. Explicit expressions are developed for the distribution function and the non-linear conductivity for the special case of practical interest where the collision frequency is proportional to the energy. Some of the implications and possible applications for ionospheric problems are outlined in the last section. (Author)
