Reply To "Comment On 'Superconductivity In Electron-Doped Layered Tincl With Variable Interlayer Coupling'"

We have studied the electron-doped alpha-form TiNCl (FeOCl orthorhombic type) in detail and have found the transition temperature T-c of 18.0 K decreases monotonically with increasing the interlayer spacing d upon co-intercalation of various kinds of organic solvent molecules with alkali atoms. We conclude that such kinds of experimental results imply the importance of interlayer Coulomb coupling [Phys. Rev. B 86, 024516 (2012)], which is a strong contrast to the behavior previously found in the electron doped beta-form ZrNCl and HfNCl. In their Comment, Harshman and Fiory [Phys. Rev. B 90, 186501 (2014)] discuss a detailed model with remote Coulomb scattering to scale the optimized T-c, which is consistent with our conclusion.
