Babak Seradjeh, Jiansheng Wu, Philip Phillips (UIUC)
TL;DR
This paper defends the surface state interpretation of high-field bismuth Nernst peaks against a critique, reaffirming the original theory with clarifications and rebuttals.
Contribution
It provides a detailed response clarifying why the surface state theory remains consistent with experimental observations despite critiques.
Findings
Surface state theory aligns with observed Nernst peaks.
Critique's inconsistency with experimental data is addressed.
Reaffirms the original interpretation of high-field bismuth phenomena.
Abstract
In a Comment [arXiv:0910.1256], Behnia contends that the surface theory put forward in our recent Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 136803 (2009); arXiv:0905.0689] as an alternative explanation of the anomalous peaks observed in Nernst measurement on a single-crystal bismuth sample at high (> 9 T) magnetic fields [Science 317, 1729 (2007); arXiv:0802.1993] is not consistent with the order of magnitude and shape of the anomalous peaks observed in the experiment. We explain in this Reply why this contention is not true.
