Reply to "comment on 'tip-to-surface distance variations vs voltage in scannine tunneline microscopy'"
Résumé
The comments of Ley-Koo reveal first a true notational mistake in the ξ parameter. However, the numerical results are not significantly modified. Second, a theoretical inconsistency about nonconfocal hyperboloids is pointed out. We find that the use of nonconfocal hyperboloids as an approximation is necessary to analytically solve the problem.
