Reply to "Comment on "Effects of Point Defects on the Phase Diagram of Vortex States in High-Tc Superconductors in the B//c Axis""

Abstract

We reply to a recent Comment on our previous article [Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 5140 (2001)] by Olsson and Teitel [cond-mat/0404473]. We point out that their scaling argument to question the possible vortex slush phase in the frustrated XY model with point defects cannot be sufficiently justified by the provided numerical data, and that their data are indeed consistent with our previous article.
