Modified Matthiessen's rule: More scattering leads to less resistance
We study the breaking of integrability by a finite density of dilute impurities, specifically the emerging diffusive transport. Provided the distance between impurities (localized perturbations) is large, one would expect that the scattering rates are additive, and therefore, the resistivity is proportional to the number of impurities (the so-called Matthiessen's …
