Resumen:
We thank the authors of Ref. [1] for their comments and interest in our work [2], [3], [4], [5] and [6].
We agree that the emission of shear loops on one single shear plane
cannot lead to void growth. However, our simulations suggest that
coordinated shear on non-parallel planes can lead to void
growth/shrinkage [3], [4] and [5].
Detailed descriptions of this process are still being worked out and
represent an exciting area for future research. Thus, there seem to be
two separate dislocation mechanisms operating either sequentially or
simultaneously: shear and prismatic loop emission. Whereas prismatic
loops are well known and have been extensively documented, the
postulation of special shear loops is novel. The authors [1] have correctly pointed out that special restrictions need to be applied to these shear loops, something not mentioned in Refs. [2], [3], [4], [5] and [6].
