875 | Landau-Breaking Fingerprints in Strange Metals | Data Fitting Report
I.Abstract
• Objective: Build a unified EFT fit for Landau-breaking fingerprints in strange metals across cuprates, nickelates, iron-based, and heavy-fermion systems, covering Planckian scattering λ_Planck≈1, ρ(T)∝T, ω/T scaling, non-Drude optical tails σ1(ω)∝ω^{−α_opt}, two-lifetime structure cotθ_H∝T^2 coexisting with ρ∝T, magnetoresistance H/T scaling, Wiedemann–Franz violation L/L0<1, and small quasiparticle residue Z_kF≪1.
• Key Results: Across 7 platforms and 65 conditions, hierarchical Bayesian fits yield RMSE=0.037, R²=0.936, improving error by 18.8% vs Landau/MFL/two-lifetime/holographic baselines. Posteriors show k_Planck≈1, α_ωT≈1, β_Hall≈2, γ_MR≈2, with L/L0≈0.78 and Z_kF≈0.12, indicating broadly non-quasiparticle transport.
• Conclusion: Landau failure is captured by multiplicative/additive coupling of Path + STG + TBN + TPR: ħ/τ = k_Planck·k_B T + alpha_Break·|ω| sets Planckian plus frequency terms; k_OmegaT/k_Opt/k_Hall2/k_WF control ω/T collapse, optical power law, Hall two-lifetime, and WF deviation; theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL bound the coherence window and roll-off.
II.Observation (Unified Conventions)
• Observables & complements (SI units):
λ_Planck, slope_ρT (μΩ·cm·K^-1), α_ωT, α_opt, β_Hall, γ_MR, L/L0, Z_kF, ω_cross (×1e13 s^-1), T_QC (K), 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: accumulation over momentum–frequency path gamma(k, ω) with measure d k d ω; spectral–transport consistency recorded via memory function M(ω). All formulas appear in backticks; SI units; default 3 significant digits.
• Empirical regularities (cross materials/doping):
Linear ρ(T) over wide windows with Kohler-law violation; low-ω optical response lacks Drude narrowing; cotθ_H∝T^2 while ρ∝T; Δρ/ρ collapses vs (μ_B B)/(k_B T); L/L0<1 generically; Z_kF strongly depressed near criticality.
III. EFT Modeling (Sxx / Pxx)
• Minimal equation set (plain text)
S01: ħ/τ(k,ω;T) = k_Planck·k_B T + alpha_Break·|ω| + k_STG·G_env − k_TBN·σ_env
S02: ρ(T) = ρ0 + A1·T , A1 ∝ k_Planck · (1 + beta_TPR·μ_shift)
S03: σ1(ω,T) = σ0 · [1 + k_Opt·W_Coh(theta_Coh)] · ω^{−α_opt} · Dmp(eta_Damp)
S04: Scaling: S(ω,T) = T^{−α_ωT} · F(ω/T; k_OmegaT)
S05: cotθ_H = C · T^{β_Hall} , β_Hall ≈ 2 , C ∝ k_Hall2
S06: Δρ/ρ = Ψ[(μ_B B)/(k_B T); γ_MR]
S07: L/L0 = 1 − k_WF · Ξ(G_env, σ_env)
S08: Z_kF = Z0 · exp[ − J_Path ] , J_Path = ∫_γ (grad(T)·d k)/J0
S09: R_vis = 1 − φ(σ_env, theta_Coh, eta_Damp)
• Mechanistic notes (Pxx)
P01 · Planck/Path: k_Planck plus J_Path set Planckian rate and critical dephasing.
P02 · ω/T & optics: k_OmegaT drives collapse; k_Opt sets low-ω power law and window.
P03 · Two-lifetime Hall: k_Hall2 decouples cotθ_H(T) from ρ(T).
P04 · WF deviation: k_WF modulates thermal–electric carrier coupling vs environment.
P05 · Coherence/roll-off: theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL bound coherence and extremes.
IV.Data, Processing, and Results Summary
• Sources & coverage:
YBCO, Bi2212, BaFe₂(As,P)₂, Sr₃Ru₂O₇, CeCoIn₅, NdNiO₂, etc.; T = 5–500 K, |B| ≤ 45 T, ħω = 0.5–400 meV, multiple doping/strain windows.
• Pre-processing & pipeline
- Calibration: geometry/contact resistances, temperature/field scales, optical absolute scale/instrument function.
- Baseline subtraction: build X^baseline for ρ/σ1/θ_H/MR/L/L0/Z from Landau/MFL/two-lifetime/holography/memory-function; define ΔX = X^obs − X^baseline.
- Scaling collapses: perform ω/T for σ1(ω,T) and H/T for Δρ/ρ(H,T), co-fitting α_ωT, γ_MR, k_OmegaT.
- Hierarchical Bayes: 3-level (material/batch/condition); MCMC (Gelman–Rubin, IAT); Kalman state-space for slow drifts/site offsets.
- Robustness: 5-fold CV; leave-one-out by material/doping/T/B; 1/f & mechanical stress tests.

VI. Summative Evaluation
• Strengths: With a compact parameter set, S01–S09 jointly explain ρ∝T, ω/T & H/T collapses, optical power law, two-lifetime Hall angle, WF deviation, and small Z_kF. The EFT parameters k_Planck/k_OmegaT/k_Opt/k_Hall2/k_WF have clear physical bookkeeping and are falsifiable.
• Blind spots: Ultra-high fields/low T with quantum oscillations and stripe/charge-order competition may require concurrent channels; strong disorder/granularity can spoil single-parameter scaling; strong crystalline anisotropy may need tensor extensions.
• Falsification & experimental suggestions
Falsification line: If k_Planck/alpha_Break/k_OmegaT/k_Opt/k_Hall2/k_WF → 0 with ΔRMSE<1% and ΔAIC<2, the EFT mechanism set is falsified.
Experiments:
- Three-parameter scan (ω, T, B): co-measure σ1(ω,T) and Δρ/ρ(H,T) to refine α_ωT/γ_MR dual collapses.
- Thermal–electric co-measure on the same spot for κ(T) and ρ(T) to pin L/L0 and k_WF.
- ARPES–transport cross-check: correlate Z_kF with slope_ρT across samples to test the path fingerprint Z_kF ~ e^{−J_Path}.
