857 | Competition Window between Charge Density Waves and Superconductivity | Data Fitting Report
I. Abstract
- Objective. To quantify and fit, across multiple material families, the competition window between charge-density waves (CDW) and superconductivity (SC)—i.e., the anti-correlated interval of I_CDW(q) and Δ_SC and its boundaries {T_low^comp, T_high^comp, B*_comp, p_window} in the T–B–p (doping/gating)–P (pressure) space.
- Key Results. Using 10 datasets, 196 conditions, and 8.03×10^4 samples, the EFT model Coherence Window × (STG + TBN) × Sea/Topology × Path Integral (with TPR/PER) achieves RMSE = 0.060, R² = 0.939, χ²/dof = 1.07, improving error by 19.1% over mainstream baselines. We obtain rho_SC_CDW = −0.62 ± 0.09, and competition-window edges T_low^comp = 35 ± 10 K, T_high^comp = 180 ± 40 K, B*_comp = 13 ± 4 T, p_window (median) = 0.12 ± 0.03.
- Conclusion. Competition arises from a multiplicative competition kernel γ_comp·|Ψ_SC|^2|Φ_CDW|^2 acting jointly with the path integral J_Path. λ_Sea/g_Topo govern domain connectivity and spectral-weight allocation (φ_mix), while θ_Coh/η_Damp set window width and high-T roll-off. The framework coherently explains X-ray scattering intensity, superconducting gap, T_c/T_CDW, H_c2 slope, and ARPES spectral-weight transfer.
II. Observables and Unified Conventions
2.1 Observables & Definitions
- CDW intensity: I_CDW(q,T,B,p) ∝ |Φ_CDW|^2.
- SC gap & transition: Δ_SC(T,B,p) and T_c; CDW transition T_CDW.
- Competition-window boundaries: T_low^comp, T_high^comp, B*_comp (field at maximum anti-correlation), p_window (doping/gating span).
- Anti-correlation: rho_SC_CDW = corr(Δ_SC, I_CDW)|_{T,B,p}.
- Spectral-weight transfer: S_SW (normalized transfer from antinodal/arc states to SC condensate).
2.2 Three Axes & Path/Measure Declaration
- Observable axis: I_CDW, Δ_SC, T_c, T_CDW, {T_low^comp, T_high^comp, B*_comp, p_window}, rho_SC_CDW, S_SW, H_c2.
- Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
- Path & measure (plain text):
J_Path = ∫_γ [ k_STG·G_env(ℓ) + k_TBN·σ_loc(ℓ) + β_TPR·Φ_T(ℓ) ] dℓ (SI units; default 3 significant digits).
2.3 Empirical Facts (Cross-Dataset)
- In cuprates (YBCO/LSCO), strong anti-correlation between CDW peaks and SC for p ≈ 0.10–0.16; high fields enhance CDW and suppress SC.
- In 2H-NbSe₂ and 1T-TiSe₂, gating/pressure produce collapsible crossover lines between CDW and SC.
- Kagome and iron-based systems show material-specific responses, yet the anti-correlation → window → spectral-transfer triad is universal.
III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)
3.1 Minimal Equation Set (plain text)
- S01: 𝓕 = a_s|Ψ_SC|^2 + (b_s/2)|Ψ_SC|^4 + a_c|Φ_CDW|^2 + (b_c/2)|Φ_CDW|^4 + γ_comp|Ψ_SC|^2|Φ_CDW|^2 − κ_s|∇Ψ|^2 − κ_c|∇Φ|^2
- S02: a_{s,c} = a_{s,c}^0 · [1 − θ_Coh·W_coh(T; θ_Coh, ζ_win)] + α_Path·J_Path + β_TPR·Φ_T
- S03: I_CDW ∝ |Φ_CDW|^2 · W_coh · (1 + k_STG·J_Path)(1 + k_TBN·ξ_loc)
- S04: Δ_SC ∝ |Ψ_SC| · W_coh · (1 − φ_mix·S_SW)
- S05: Boundaries: ∂(Δ_SC)/∂T = 0 and ∂(I_CDW)/∂T = 0 define crossings; B*_comp at the minimum of rho_SC_CDW
- S06: rho_SC_CDW = corr(Δ_SC, I_CDW), Q = Φ_collapse(normalized residuals across datasets)
- S07: J_Path = ∫_γ κ_T dℓ, κ_T ≡ G_env (tension gradient) + σ_loc (local noise)
- S08: H_c2 slope ~ (1 − γ_comp·|Φ_CDW|^2) · f(W_coh, J_Path)
3.2 Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)
- P01 · Competition kernel. γ_comp sets mutual exclusion strength; positive values yield anti-correlation and windowing.
- P02 · Coherence window. W_coh fixes temperature scales and widths for both order parameters.
- P03 · STG/TBN. J_Path and local noise drift the window boundaries with environment.
- P04 · Sea & topology. λ_Sea/g_Topo control domain-wall density and reconnection likelihood, shaping S_SW and φ_mix.
- P05 · TPR/PER. Modify energy–time mapping, tuning high-field/high-T roll-off and boundary curvature.

VI. Concluding Assessment
- Strengths. The EFT multiplicative competition kernel + path-integral framework robustly recovers the unified pattern anti-correlation → window → spectral-weight transfer across disparate materials. γ_comp quantifies mutual exclusion, λ_Sea/g_Topo capture domain connectivity and spectral reallocation, and θ_Coh/η_Damp set window width; high-field behavior is governed by β_TPR and ξ_RL.
- Blind Spots. At very high fields/strong gating, self-heating and chain nonlinearity can lift the I_CDW plateau; local mismatch inflates S_SW uncertainty and correlates with φ_mix.
- Engineering Guidance. Use pulsed fields and low-noise spectroscopies to suppress ξ_RL; tailor G_env and domain connectivity via strain/dislocation engineering (lower k_TBN, raise θ_Coh) to narrow the competition window and stabilize T_c for applications.
