Abstract

This is an extended Reply to Comment by A. Sergeev, M.Y. Reizer, and V. Mitin [arXiv:0906.2389] on our Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 067001 (2009)]. We explicitly demonstrate that all claims by Sergeev et al. are completely unfounded, because their underlying theoretical work contains multiple errors and inconsistencies. For this reason, there is no need to revise the existing theories of thermoelectric response in superconductors.
