Abstract

In their comment on our paper [Galstyan et al., Blackstead et al.Phys. Rev. B 76, 014501 (2007)], argued that multiphase Sr2YRu0.5Cu0.5O6−δ material possesses two distinct superconducting phases and attributed the low-temperature one (∼30 K) to the Cu-doped double-perovskite Sr2YRuO6 structure. In this Comment, we show that the superconductivity in Sr2YRu0.5Cu0.5O6−δ is apparently attributed to YSr2Cu3O7−δ or YSr2Cu3−xRuxO7−δ phases formed at high temperature during the sintering process. A similar situation may occur with low Cu doping, but further detailed work will certainly be helpful to clarify the physics in Sr2YRuO6 with relatively low Cu concentration.
