Hi, here is your answer......

Second derivatives in thermodynamics come from deriving other parameters :

χe=∂2H/∂E2
=∂/∂E ∂H/∂E
=∂P/∂E

The first derivative is the polarization. Then, you derive with respect to the electric field. Polarization and electric field are related, by definition, by the susceptibility.

Note the origin of the minus signs in (6.1) and (6.2): the respective perturbations are Uσσ(xx) ... Second derivatives of the free energy, or generalized susceptibilities.
