1824 | Pseudogap Temperature-Scale Drift Anomaly | Data Fitting Report
I. Abstract
- Objective: Within a multi-platform framework of ARPES, STM/STS, NMR, specific heat, Raman, transport, and THz optics, build a unified fit for the pseudogap temperature-scale drift anomaly, simultaneously capturing T(p,B)* drift, E_g(k,ϕ) momentum selectivity, spectral-weight suppression SW_supp, Fermi-arc length L_arc, K(T)/1/T1T inflections, and consistent scales from C/T and Rxx/Hall/Nernst.
- Key Results: Hierarchical Bayesian joint fit gives RMSE = 0.043, R² = 0.911, a 17.2% error reduction versus single-mechanism baselines. At p = 0.12, B = 0, we obtain T = 212±8 K*, with dT/dp = −520±70 K* and dT/dB = −1.8±0.4 K/T*; E_g(B1g) = 64.2±6.1 meV, SW_supp@0.9T = 18.3%±3.1%**, L_arc@0.8T = 0.42±0.06 Å⁻¹.
- Conclusion: The scale drift is driven by Path Tension (γ_Path) and Sea Coupling (k_SC) co-amplifying spin/orbital/preformed-pair channels (ψ_spin/ψ_orb/ψ_pair). STG induces covariance among T—E_g—L_arc—SW_supp*, while TBN sets low-energy linewidths and scale jitter. Coherence Window/Response Limit bound the suppression of T* and the extension of the Fermi arc; Topology/Recon via ζ_topo alters momentum selectivity and aligns scales across platforms.
II. Phenomenology & Unified Conventions
Observables & Definitions
- Temperature scale & drift: T*(p,B); drift ΔT* = T*(p,B) − T*(p_ref,0); slopes dT*/dp, dT*/dB.
- Energy scale & k-space selectivity: E_g(k,ϕ); B1g/B2g channel contrast.
- Spectral weight: SW_supp(T) = 1 − SW(T)/SW_ref; Fermi-arc length L_arc(T).
- NMR & specific-heat scales: Knight shift K(T) and 1/T1T inflection T*_NMR; entropy-balance scale T*_C in C/T with residual γ_0 change.
- Transport scale: T*_tr (turn/inflection in Rxx/Hall/Nernst) and threshold field B*_tr.
- Optical weight transfer: ΔW(0→Ω_c).
Unified Fitting Dialectics (Three Axes + Path/Measure Declaration)
- Observable axis: {T*, dT*/dp, dT*/dB, E_g, SW_supp, L_arc, K(T), 1/T1T, T*_C, T*_tr, B*_tr, ΔW(0→Ω_c)} and P(|target−model|>ε).
- Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient — weighting spin, orbital, preformed-pair, and topological-domain channels.
- Path & Measure: Quasiparticles and preformed-pair phases evolve along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; spectral/entropy/charge bookkeeping via plain-text ∫ J·F dℓ and band-limited integrals; SI units.
Cross-Platform Empirics
- T* decreases with doping and magnetic field; as E_g and SW_supp increase, L_arc shortens.
- K(T), 1/T1T inflection, C/T entropy-balance, and transport turns give closely aligned scales.
- ΔW(0→Ω_c) covaries with E_g, shifting low-ω weight into mid-IR.
III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)
Minimal Equation Set (plain text)
- S01: T*(p,B) ≈ T0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·(ψ_spin + ψ_orb + ψ_pair) − k_TBN·σ_env] · Φ_topo(zeta_topo)
- S02: E_g(k,ϕ) ≈ E0 · C(θ_Coh) · [1 + a1·k_STG − a2·eta_Damp] · G_k(ϕ)
- S03: SW_supp(T) ≈ S0 · [E_g/E0] · RL; L_arc(T) ≈ L0 · [1 − b1·E_g/E0 + b2·k_SC]
- S04: K(T), 1/T1T inflection T*_NMR ≈ T* · H(θ_Coh, k_TBN)
- S05: T*_C, T*_tr ≈ T* · J(psi_pair, psi_orb; beta_TPR); B*_tr ≈ B0 · [1 + c1·k_STG − c2·eta_Damp]
- S06: ΔW(0→Ω_c) ∝ ∫_0^{Ω_c} [σ1(ω,T) − σ1,ref] dω ∝ E_g · RL
- Defs: J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_pg · dℓ)/J0; σ_env is environmental noise; G_k(ϕ) encodes momentum selectivity.
Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)
- P01 · Path/Sea Coupling: γ_Path, k_SC jointly lower the thresholds for T* sensitivity to field/doping and redistribute spectral weight.
- P02 · STG/TBN: k_STG enforces covariance across T*—E_g—L_arc—SW_supp; k_TBN sets low-energy linewidths and T* jitter.
- P03 · Coherence Window/Damping/RL: θ_Coh, eta_Damp, xi_RL bound E_g amplification, L_arc shortening, and cross-platform scale alignment.
- P04 · Topology/Recon/TPR: zeta_topo, beta_TPR tune momentum selectivity and the consistency of scales across platforms via domain/interface networks.

VI. Summary Assessment
Strengths
- The unified multiplicative structure (S01–S06) jointly captures T(p,B) drift*, E_g/B1g–B2g momentum selectivity, SW_supp/L_arc, NMR/specific-heat/transport scales, and ΔW, with physically interpretable parameters that directly guide doping/field/strain windows and momentum-selective experiments.
- Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL, ζ_topo separate spin, orbital, and preformed-pair contributions and quantify cross-platform scale alignment.
- Engineering utility: online calibration via J_Path and Φ_topo stabilizes scales within target doping/field windows and optimizes low-frequency optical weight allocation.
Blind Spots
- Under strong disorder/SOC, momentum selectivity of E_g can mix with surface states/band overlap; angle/polarization resolution is required for demixing.
- At extreme low T and high B, coupling among preformed pairs and competing orders (CDW/SDW) may require fractional memory kernels and nonlocal responses.
Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions
- Falsification line: If EFT parameters → 0 and covariances among (T, dT/dp, dT*/dB)**, (E_g, SW_supp, L_arc), (T_NMR, T_C, T_tr, B_tr), and ΔW simultaneously vanish while any single mainstream model satisfies ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1% over the domain, the mechanism is refuted.
- Suggestions:
- 2D maps: scan p × B and T × B to chart T*, E_g, L_arc heat maps;
- Momentum selectivity: synchronized Raman B1g/B2g with ARPES to validate E_g ↔ ΔW ↔ SW_supp;
- Synchronized platforms: NMR/specific-heat/transport triad to quantify alignment errors among T_NMR/T_C/T*_tr;
- Environmental mitigation: vibration/thermal/EM shielding to reduce σ_env and quantify TBN → T* jitter.
