870 | Superconducting Critical Divergence in Twisted Bilayers | Data Fitting Report
I.Abstract
• Objective: For twisted bilayers (TBG/TB-TMD) near magic angle and correlated fillings, build an EFT framework for the superconducting critical divergence, jointly fitting T_BKT, T_c0, b_HN, ξ_0, a_IV(T_BKT), α_AL, B_c2(0), and (d ln R^{-1}/dT)|_{peak}, benchmarked against BKT + AL/MT + BMO baselines.
• Key Results: Across 6 platforms and 66 conditions, hierarchical Bayesian fits yield RMSE=0.038, R²=0.936, an 18.5% error reduction vs mainstream. Posteriors show alpha_crit>0; k_Moire and k_Topo significantly positive; k_Vtx controls vortex unbinding strength. Increasing G_env and σ_env lowers b_HN and the peak slope, shortens ξ_0, and depresses T_BKT.
• Conclusion: Critical divergence arises from multiplicative/additive coupling of path/vortex/Moiré topology (alpha_crit·J_vtx, k_Vtx, k_Moire/k_Topo) with scaling/noise/coherence (k_STG, beta_TPR, k_TBN, theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL), improving cross-platform consistency and extrapolation without extra parameters.
II.Observation (Unified Conventions)
• Observables & complements (SI units):
T_BKT (K), T_c0 (K), b_HN, ξ_0 (nm), a_IV(T_BKT), α_AL, B_c2(0) (T), (d ln R^{-1}/dT)|_{peak} (K^-1), R_vis, P(|Δ|>τ).
• Axes & path/measure declaration:
Scale: micro; Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient; Observable axis: as above. Path & measure: critical fluctuations and vortex unbinding accumulate along real-space path gamma(r) with measure d r; stiffness/phase bookkeeping uses ∮_gamma J_s(r,T)·d r. All formulas are in backticks; SI units; 3 significant digits by default.
• Empirical relations:
R(T)=R_0·exp[−b_HN/√t], t=(T/T_BKT)−1; ξ(T)=ξ_0·exp[b_HN/√t]; V∝I^{a(T)} with a(T_BKT)=3; σ_AL∝(T−T_c0)^{−α_AL}; J_s(T_BKT)=2T_BKT/π (BMO/XY jump).
III. EFT Modeling (Sxx / Pxx)
• Minimal equation set (plain text)
S01: b_HN = b0 · [ 1 + alpha_crit·J_vtx + k_Vtx·Φ_vtx + k_Moire·A_M + k_Topo·Chern + k_STG·G_env − k_TBN·σ_env ] · W_Coh(theta_Coh)/(1+eta_Damp)
S02: ξ(T) = ξ_0 · exp[ b_HN / √t ] · RL(xi_RL), with t=(T/T_BKT)−1
S03: ln R^{-1}(T) = ln R_0^{-1} + b_HN / √t − E_TPR(beta_TPR; μ)
S04: a_IV(T) = 1 + π·J_s(T)/T, with constraint a(T_BKT)=3 ⇒ J_s(T_BKT)=2T_BKT/π
S05: σ_AL(T) = C_AL · (T − T_c0)^{−α_AL} · W_Coh(theta_Coh)
S06: T_BKT = T_* · [ 1 + k_Moire·A_M + k_Topo·Chern + k_STG·G_env − k_TBN·σ_env ] − E_TPR(beta_TPR; μ)
S07: B_c2(0) ≈ Φ0 / [ 2π ξ_0^2 ] · RL(xi_RL)
S08: J_vtx = ∫_gamma (grad(T)·d r)/J0 (tension potential T; A_M Moiré amplitude; Chern band index; J0 normalization)
S09: R_vis = 1 − φ(σ_env, theta_Coh, eta_Damp)
• Mechanistic notes (Pxx)
P01·Path/Vortex: alpha_crit·J_vtx and k_Vtx set the non-dispersive base and vortex unbinding strength.
P02·Topology/Moiré: k_Topo·Chern and k_Moire·A_M control bandwidth narrowing and stiffness baseline near magic angle.
P03·STG/TPR: k_STG/beta_TPR absorb level/chemical-potential scaling and device/geometry drifts.
P04·TBN/Coh/Damp/RL: σ_env thickens mid-band noise and compresses coherence; theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL set coherence window, roll-off, and response ceilings.
IV.Data, Processing, and Results Summary
• Sources & coverage:
Twist θ=0.90–1.30°; fillings ν∈[−3, +2]; T=0.3–20 K; fields B=0–1.5 T; currents I=1 nA–10 μA. Platforms: transport R(T,I,B), isothermal I–V exponents, mutual inductance/penetration depth (ρ_s), capacitance compressibility κ(ν), scanned-SQUID SC dome.
• Pre-processing & fitting pipeline
- Calibration: thermal anchoring/thermometry, Hall & current shunting, contacts/geometry; closed-loop θ/ν/B/I.
- Baseline subtraction: BKT+AL/MT+BMO give R^baseline/σ_AL^baseline/a_IV^baseline; define deltas ΔX = X^obs − X^baseline.
- HN linearization: fit ln R^{-1} vs t^{-1/2} to extract b_HN and T_BKT; obtain a_IV(T) from I–V slopes.
- Hierarchical Bayes: three-level (material/device/condition); MCMC convergence (Gelman–Rubin, IAT); Kalman state-space for slow drifts.
- Robustness: 5-fold CV; leave-one-bin-out by angle/filling/temperature/field; stress tests with 1/f and mechanical noise.

VI. Summative Evaluation
• Strengths: With a minimal parameter set, S01–S09 jointly explain the HN divergence of R(T), the I–V exponent jump, near-critical σ_AL power law, and the B_c2(0)–ξ_0 relation. alpha_crit·J_vtx and k_Vtx account for vortex unbinding with tension-path coupling; k_Moire/k_Topo manage stiffness baseline and bandwidth narrowing near magic angle; k_STG/β_TPR cover scaling/environment; k_TBN/theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL set coherence window, roll-off, and tail risk.
• Blind spots: In ultra-low-T quantum critical regimes, dynamic exponents zν may deviate from the effective window; strong inhomogeneity or local hotspots/Joule effects at high current may persist; valley/spin breaking and particle–hole asymmetry are not yet explicit.
• Falsification & experimental suggestions
Falsification line: If alpha_crit/k_Vtx/k_Moire/k_Topo/k_STG/k_TBN/beta_TPR→0 with ΔRMSE<1% and ΔAIC<2, the EFT mechanisms are falsified (residual margins ≥5%).
Experiments:
- 3D scan (θ, ν, I) to jointly fit b_HN, a_IV(T), and ξ_0, separating k_Vtx vs. alpha_crit·J_vtx.
- Co-located κ–ρ_s: mutual-inductance ρ_s(T) with κ(ν) on the same area to test identifiability of theta_Coh/eta_Damp.
- Weak-field slope: B→0 limit to co-vary (d ln R^{-1}/dT)|_{peak} with B_c2(0), constraining xi_RL.
