▎ 摘  要

Based on a new self-energy for atom-phonon interaction, the preceding Comment [Phys. Rev. B 101, 247401 (2020)] argues about the insufficiency of the mathematical techniques within the independent boson model (IBM) to study physisorption in graphene membranes. In this Reply, I show that the new self-energy reported in the Comment is a perturbative expansion approximated for a two-phonon process, severely divergent for membrane sizes larger than 100 nm and within its current mathematical form, ill suited for investigating the physics of physisorption in graphene micromembranes. Additionally, I provide further evidence of the adsorption rate within the IBM that reinforces the physical soundness of the mathematical techniques reported in Phys. Rev. B 100, 075429 (2019).
