Abstract

It is demonstrated that currently available first-principles form factors are not sufficiently accurate for calculating the low-temperature electrical resistivity of metals. Moreover, it is shown that there is no basis for the recent suggestion, based on such an inadequate form factor, that phonon-drag effects may be neglected in the calculation of the low-temperature resistivity of potassium.
