Abstract

We have considered the generation of a low-frequency nonlinear current by high-frequency waves, using the relativistic Vlasov equation. A general formula for the nonlinear current has been derived, inlcuding the ponderomotive part as well as the magnetization current. We have found that the magnetization current can be significantly changed by the relativistic effects, even for a weakly relativistic temperature.
