Reply to “Comment on ‘Magnetoresistance and differential conductance in multiwalled carbon nanotubes’ ”

Our interpretation of the magnetoresistance and the differential conductance of multiwalled carbon nanotubes, based on the depleted density of states, was questioned by Schönenberger and Bachtold in their Comment. They have concluded that our data were rather in support of the diffusive motion of electrons, contradictory to our interpretation. In this Reply we argue against this conclusion and discuss in detail why the weak localization scheme is not likely to explain the magnetoresistance of multiwalled carbon nanotubes observed in our experiments.
