Reply to the 'Comment on "Regulating the valence level arrangement of high-Al-content AlGaN quantum wells using additional potentials with Mg doping"' by W. Lambrecht, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. , 2023, 25 , DOI: 10.1039/D2CP01080A.

We are happy to receive the attention of Prof. Lambrecht regarding our paper and we appreciate his comments. However, it is hard to agree with his judgement about the "incorrect application", "incorrect interpretation", and the work being "misleading". Therefore, we would like to provide a defense and further discussion in this reply.
