Abstract
This is a response to the Comment [Phys. Rev. B 111, 146401 (2025)] by Yokouchi et al. on our paper [Phys. Rev. B 110, 174402 (2024)]. In this Reply, we note that (i) their arguments lack a discussion of whether the overall characteristics of the observed nonlinear impedance, including its magnitude and unphysical negative inductance interpretation, can be explained by the emergent induction scenario, whereas the Joule heating model can, (ii) they incorrectly refer to the Joule heating model, and (iii) their new data in the Comment are also quantitatively explained by the Joule heating model. These findings suggest that, contrary to the opinion by Yokouchi et al., the overall behavior of the observed impedance is irrelevant to emergent induction.
