Reply to Comment on "Signatures of surface states in bismuth at high magnetic fields"

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.
