50. In their original work the decomposition involves the experimentally measured quantity σ(4 K) instead of the extrapolated value σ(0). In some instances this extrapolation may be unclear because the conductivity curve exhibits succesive curvature changes as the zero-temperature limit is attained. This is the case for AlPdRe at ultralow temperatures, as discussed in Ref. 48.
