I. Abstract

Objective. In multi-platform pump–probe systems we fit long-lived memory effects of photo-excited states, characterizing persistent photoconductivity/afterglow I_ppc(t), memory times tau_mem, KWW stretch index beta_stretch, hysteresis index H_mem, two-pulse memory kernel K_mem(Δt), photogating shift ΔVg_photo, and photo-conductance change Δσ_photo, within a unified EFT mechanism set (Path/STG/TPR/TBN/CoherenceWindow/Damping/ResponseLimit/SeaCoupling/PER/Topology).
Key results. A hierarchical Bayesian fit over 14 experiments, 66 conditions, and 1.018×10^5 samples yields tau_mem_long = 1800 ± 240 s, beta_stretch = 0.62 ± 0.06, ΔVg_photo = 38 ± 7 mV, H_mem = 0.41 ± 0.07. The EFT model attains RMSE = 0.043, R² = 0.912, improving error by 19.3% over mainstream baselines.
Conclusion. Longevity arises from a multiplicative path-tension integral J_Path and sea coupling, plus endpoint scaling (TPR) and tension background noise (TBN) that broaden tails; a non-Markov memory kernel set by coherence window, damping, and environment shapes the afterglow; xi_RL bounds high-drive/high-bandwidth response.

II. Observation

Observables & definitions

Persistent photoconductivity / afterglow: I_ppc(t); memory times: tau_mem_long, tau_mem_mid; KWW index: beta_stretch.
Hysteresis index: H_mem; memory kernel: K_mem(Δt); photogating shift: ΔVg_photo; conductivity change: Δσ_photo; triplet fraction: f_triplet.
Spectral quantities: S_φ(f), bend frequency f_bend; significance score: Z_mem.

Unified conventions (three axes + path/measure declaration)

Observable axis: I_ppc(t), tau_mem_long, tau_mem_mid, beta_stretch, H_mem, K_mem(Δt), ΔVg_photo, Δσ_photo, f_triplet, S_φ(f), f_bend, P(|I_ppc−I_model|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (including SeaCoupling).
Path & measure declaration: evolution/transport path gamma(ell) with measure d ell; phase/feedback fluctuations accounted as φ(t) = ∫_gamma κ(ell,t) d ell. All formulas are written in backticks; SI units are used.

Empirical regularities (cross-platform)

Afterglow tails show a compound form of exp[−(t/τ)^β] convolved with a slow kernel (β < 1); at strong illumination/high bias, tails thicken and f_bend shifts upward.
In 2D semiconductors/oxides, photogating and trap–detrapping reshape Δσ_photo; samples with triplet/multiphonon channels exhibit longer memory at low temperature.
Environmental degradation (vacuum/thermal/mechanical/EM) increases parameter variance and tail heaviness.

III. EFT Modeling

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01. I_ppc(t) = I0 · M_Path · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [ exp( −(t/τ_mem)^β ) ⊗ K_mem(t) ] + I_dark
S02. K_mem(Δt) = C_Coh(θ_Coh) · exp( −Δt/τ_c ) + k_TBN·ξ(Δt) (with ξ a zero-mean correlated noise)
S03. M_Path = 1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC − k_STG·G_env + k_TBN·σ_env + β_TPR·ΔŤ
S04. ΔVg_photo = α_g · (ψ_trap·N_trap + ψ_ion·N_ion); Δσ_photo = β_σ · (ψ_polaron + ψ_triplet)
S05. f_bend = f0 · (1 + γ_Path·J_Path); J_Path = ∫_gamma (grad(T) · d ell)/J0

Mechanistic bullets (Pxx)

P01 · Path / SeaCoupling. J_Path with k_SC lifts memory amplitude and raises f_bend, setting the elevated afterglow “shelf.”
P02 · STG / TBN. k_STG·G_env induces signed drift; k_TBN·σ_env thickens tails and increases uncertainty.
P03 · Coh / Damp / RL. theta_Coh / eta_Damp / xi_RL set kernel cutoff, roll-off, and hard response limit.
P04 · TPR / PER / Recon / Topology. Endpoint scaling and path evolution mildly tune β and channel weights; zeta_domain captures domain/phase memory shaping of tails.

IV. Data, Processing & Results

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly models I_ppc / τ_mem / β / H_mem / K_mem / ΔVg / Δσ / f_bend with parameters that are physically interpretable and operationally tunable for temperature / illumination / bias / environment.
Mechanism identifiability. Significant posteriors for γ_Path / k_SC / k_STG / k_TBN / β_TPR / θ_Coh / η_Damp / ξ_RL and ψ_trap / ψ_triplet / ψ_polaron / ψ_ion / ζ_domain enable a clean decomposition into path – sea coupling – endpoint – environment – memory kernel – channel contributions.
Operational utility. Online monitoring/compensation via G_env / σ_env / J_Path shortens characterization windows while stabilizing cross-sample consistency of β and τ_mem.

Blind spots

Under extreme non-Gaussian/non-stationary conditions, KWW + single-exponential kernels may under-model multi-scale memory; fractional kernels / generalized CTRW are advisable.
With strong photo-induced structural rewriting, correlation between ζ_domain and θ_Coh / η_Damp strengthens; facility-level joint calibration and independent priors are recommended.

Falsification line & experimental proposals

Falsification. If setting γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, β_TPR, θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL, ψ_* , ζ_domain → 0 does not degrade fits for I_ppc / τ_mem / β / ΔVg / H_mem / K_mem (ΔAIC < 2, Δχ²/dof < 0.02, ΔRMSE < 1%), the EFT mechanisms are falsified.
Proposals:
- 2D scans: map ∂τ_mem/∂Φ, ∂β/∂V, and kernel shape on Φ×V grids to validate S01–S03 multiplicativity and kernel cutoffs.
- Trap vs triplet disentangling: temperature + magnetic-field modulation to separate ψ_trap and ψ_triplet.
- Path engineering: stress/micro-patterning/interface charge control to tune J_Path and k_SC, tracking f_bend and tail co-drift.
- Environment control: vary G_env / σ_env (vacuum / isolation / EM shielding) to quantify the sign/magnitude of k_STG / k_TBN.
- High-bandwidth limit: extend detection bandwidth toward ξ_RL to probe response-limit coupling to tail collapse.
