Origin of the Hall conductivity below the vortex-lattice melting in twinned single crystal YBCO

Abstract

In his the Comment, P. Ao affirms that his vortex many-body theory explains the observations reported in G. D'Anna et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 2530 (1998). Indeed, we provide here some arguments to show the lack of a satisfactory explanation within the known theoretical frameworks.
