الوصف: Mechanisms of resistivity can be divided into two basic classes: one is dissipative (like scattering on phonons) and another is quasi-elastic (like scattering on static impurities). They are often treated by the empirical Matthiessen rule, which says that total resistivity is just the sum of these two contributions, which are computed separately. This is quite misleading for two reasons. First, the two mechanisms are generally correlated. Second, computing the elastic resistivity alone masks the fundamental fact that the linear-response approximation has a vanishing validity interval at vanishing dissipation. Limits of zero electric field and zero dissipation do not commute for the simple reason that one needs to absorb the Joule heat quadratic in the applied field. Here, we present a simple model that illustrates these two points. The model also illuminates the role of variational principles for non-equilibrium steady states.
