Response to "Comment on 'A novel two-dimensional boron-carbon-nitride (BCN) monolayer: A first-principles insight [J. Appl. Phys. 2021, 130, 114301]'"

Recently, reported a comments on the our paper [JAP21-AR-03574R].. For clarification, we applied the fingerprint theory to examine the similarity between the distinct structures. The fingerprint function is a crystal structure descriptor, an 1D-function related to the pair correlation function and diffraction patterns. It does not depend on absolute atomic coordinates, but only on interatomic distances. Small deviations in atomic positions will influence the fingerprints only slightly [1-3]. Fingerprint theory allows quantification of the degree of order and complexity of a crystal structure.
