Based on Zakharov's equations, Karpman et al. claimed that there were solitons in the magnetosphere. According to the model proposed by Goldreich and Julin, there is a strong induced electric field in the magnetosphere. It seems that we should include the nonlinear effects of the electric field on the polarization of hydrogen atoms if there really are some hydrogen atoms spreading in the magnetosphere of the pulsar. Assuming the magnetosphere is symetric, therefore the electric polarization of hydrogen atoms is of the form P=χ(1)E +χχE3. We treat χ(1) and χ(2) as scalars because most hydrogen atoms in the universe are in the ground state and χ(3) is much smaller than χ(1).
