Reply to Comment "Density of states and critical behavior of the three-dimensional Coulomb Glass"

TL;DR

This paper responds to a comment on their previous work about the Coulomb glass, clarifying their results on the density of states and affirming the absence of a finite-temperature transition.

Contribution

It provides a clarification and correction to previous claims regarding the Coulomb glass model, reinforcing the main conclusion about the lack of a finite-temperature transition.

Findings

Main result of no finite-temperature transition remains valid.

Corrected statements about the robustness of the Wigner crystal to disorder.

Addressed issues raised in the comment regarding the density of states.

Abstract

We reply to the Comment by Mobius and Richter [arXiv:0908.3092, Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 039701 (2010)] on "Density of States and Critical Behavior of the Coulomb Glass" [arXiv:0805.4640, Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 067205 (2009)] and address the issues raised with our results on the density of states. In addition, we correct our statements about the random displacement version of the Coulomb glass model where the Wigner crystal is not as robust to disorder as stated. Still, our main result of a lack of a finite-temperature transition in the Coulomb glass remains unchallenged.
