43. Two-band transport would require two expressions of the form of Eq. 1 in parallel. In this case, the residual resistivities of each band would not be unambiguously determined by the measured residual resistivity, so that the fitting procedure would not have univocal results. In any case we estimate that the high-temperature linear derivative approaches the π band value within 10%, depending on how the residual resistivity is shared between π and σ bands.
