Equation (10.26) was analyzed in details in series of papers (see, e.g., [11],
[19]) for strong magnetic fields β e

Let σ 0 is the longitudinal conductivity. Then taking into account that
= σ 0 e and
= σ 0 e one can suppose that the fluctuations
δσ xxe ( q )and δσ xye ( q ) in (10.26) are proportionally respectively to β e and
β e . It follows that the fluctuations of the electron Hall conductivity will be es-
sentially stronger than the fluctuations of the electron Pedersen conductivity.
Formally, the anisotropy of a partially ionized gas under the strong magnetic
field leads to that the electron terms, including the Hall's part, prevail in
(10.25) and (10.26).
The influence of B 0 on σ Pi is extremely weak when β i << 1. The av-
erage ion Pedersen conductivity

in this case is independent of B 0 .
Hall ion conductivity
σ xyi
is proportional to the parameter of β i . This is
. In so doing, the fluctuations δσ Pi will be propor-
tional to the fluctuations of the relative electron concentrations δσ xxi ( q )

and the perturbations of Hall component of the ion conductivity δσ xyi will be
lesser than Pedersen conductivity because of weak ion magnetization, this is
δσ xyi ( q )
εβ i . This means that δσ xxi gives the main contribution to the fluc-
tuated ion part. It independent of the magnetic field and gives the correction
to σ e P
proportional to ε 2 << 1, that is considerably lesser than
.
The crossed terms with the products of the correlation functions of the
fluctuations of ion and electron conductivities appear also during the calcula-
tions of δσ e xx . It follows from estimations that their contribution is essentially
smaller than the “pure” electron contribution.
Thus, the main contribution to the expression for δσ eff
σ xxi
ik in (10.25) is de-
fined by electrons. Let us write out the first term in the series for δσ e xx
substituting the first approximation of B k ( q ) in ( 10.25 ) from ( 10.26 ) :
B k ( q )=
δσ ik ( q ) q i . Instead of δσ il we consider only electron Hall compo-
nent δσ xye . An estimate of the first order correction δσ (1) ef f
gives [11]:

As a result, we have:

That means that even for weak inhomogeneities ε 2

forces us to take into account all serial terms. The summing was performed
