Abstract
This is a reply to J. T. Gammel's Comment (9404047) on Tuning of the CDW in MX Chains. We show that while the harmonic elastic energy can fit a small region around zero dimerization, it is insufficient to treat the large amplitude CDW of the MX systems which was the main physics of our Letter (Phys. Rev. Lett. 71, 1415 (1993)). We also stress that anharmonic elastic potentials are essential to explain the charge-density-wave systematics of an entire class of MX material.
