Abstract

Each of the dielectric tensor elements in a Maxwellian magnetoplasma is expressed in terms of various derivatives of a single functional expression. The relationships for all the elements are given, first for the general case of a relativistic plasma, then for the slightly relativistic case, and finally for the non-relativistic case, when the perpendicular wavenumber is either large or small. We also derive new relations useful for the computation of the slightly relativistic plasma dispersion function.
