Reply to ‘‘Comment on ‘Weak-localization and Coulomb-interaction effects in hydrogen-doped Zr-Ni and Zr-Cu metallic glasses’ ’’

The alternative explanation for our magnetic-susceptibility results in terms of increased segregation of late transition elements due to the presence of hydrogen is ruled out because the hydrogen concentrations used are below the ‘‘critical’’ concentration for that process. Some other alternatives mentioned by Bakonyi were already discussed in our paper. But taking the magnetic-susceptibility results together with those of the temperature and magnetic-field dependence of electrical conductivity, we think that the most consistent picture was the one given in our original paper.
