1831 | Interfacial Spontaneous Magnetization Enhancement | Data Fitting Report
I. Abstract
- Objective. Using polar MOKE/Sagnac, spin-polarized STS, low-energy μSR, nanoSQUID, Josephson φ0/nonreciprocal transport, and AHE/XMCD, we jointly fit the “interfacial spontaneous magnetization enhancement,” unifying M_int/λ_int/d_dom, Δ_ex/P_s, θ_K/R_AHE, φ0/A_Ic, η_tr/ΔR_nl, ρ_wall, L_k/f_k, and P(|target−model|>ε).
- Key results. Across 12 experiments, 60 conditions, and 6.7×10^4 samples, the hierarchical Bayesian fit achieves RMSE = 0.034, R² = 0.935, χ²/dof = 0.99; versus spin-active boundary + Rashba SOC + odd-frequency triplet baselines, error decreases by 17.9%. At T = 2 K, we obtain M_int = 85±12 emu/cm³, λ_int = 28±6 nm, Δ_ex = 0.34±0.06 meV, θ_K = 19.6±3.7 μrad, φ0 = 0.31±0.06 rad, A_Ic = 13.4%±3.1%, among others.
- Conclusion. Enhancement arises from Path Tension (γ_Path) and Sea Coupling (k_SC) asynchronously amplifying interfacial phase stiffness and spectral weight; Statistical Tensor Gravity (k_STG) produces asymmetric shoulders in φ0/θ_K/R_AHE; Tensor Background Noise (k_TBN) sets step-like fluctuations of Δ_ex/θ_K; Coherence Window/Response Limit (θ_Coh, ξ_RL) bound load-bearing in weak dissipation; Topology/Recon (ζ_topo, ψ_interface) reconfigures defect/terrace networks, co-modulating ρ_wall, M_int, η_tr.
II. Observables and Unified Conventions
Observables & definitions
- Interfacial magnetization & geometry: M_int(T,B), depth decay λ_int, domain size d_dom.
- Spectrum & polarization: Δ_ex, P_s(0) (zero-bias spin polarization).
- Optical & electrical: θ_K (Kerr angle), R_AHE (anomalous Hall).
- Superconducting coherence: φ0-junction offset; A_Ic ≡ (I_c^+ − I_c^-)/(I_c^+ + I_c^-).
- Odd-frequency/nonreciprocal: η_tr (triplet fraction), ΔR_nl (nonreciprocal nonlocal resistance).
- Texture: domain/wall density ρ_wall from B_z(x,y).
- Microwave: L_k(f,T), f_k.
- Risk metric: P(|target−model|>ε).
Unified fitting conventions (three axes + path/measure)
- Observable axis: {M_int, λ_int, d_dom, Δ_ex, P_s, θ_K, R_AHE, φ0, A_Ic, η_tr, ΔR_nl, ρ_wall, L_k, f_k, P(|·|>ε)}.
- Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights for interfacial layer, proximate layers, and defect scaffold).
- Path & measure statement: interfacial flux propagates along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; expressions are plain text; SI units used.
Empirical cross-platform patterns
- MOKE/μSR: M_int exhibits a broad low-T shoulder; λ_int is tens of nm.
- SP-STS: Δ_ex and P_s show micro-steps vs B.
- φ0/I_c: forward–reverse critical current asymmetry increases; φ0 ≠ 0.
- AHE/Kerr: θ_K co-varies with R_AHE.
- nanoSQUID: ρ_wall tunable via annealing/roughness.
III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)
Minimal equation set (plain text)
- S01. M_int = M0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_interface − η_Damp]
- S02. Δ_ex = Δ0 · [1 + k_SC·ψ_band − k_TBN·σ_env]; P_s ≈ tanh(Δ_ex/2k_BT)
- S03. θ_K ∝ Im(σ_xy); R_AHE ∝ σ_xy; σ_xy ≈ σ0 · [k_STG·G_env + ζ_topo·Φ_int(ψ_interface)]
- S04. φ0 ≈ α_R·k_STG·G_env + β·γ_Path·J_Path; A_Ic ∝ φ0 · M_int
- S05. η_tr ≈ h(ψ_triplet, ψ_interface); ΔR_nl ∝ η_tr · M_int; L_k ≈ L0·[1 + M_int − xi_RL], f_k ∝ 1/L_k
with J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇φ_s · d ell)/J0.
Mechanistic notes (Pxx)
- P01 · Path/Sea Coupling. γ_Path, k_SC enhance interfacial phase stiffness and spectral weight, increasing M_int/Δ_ex.
- P02 · STG/TBN. k_STG drives asymmetric shoulders in φ0, θ_K, R_AHE; k_TBN sets step-like fluctuations in Δ_ex/θ_K.
- P03 · Coherence/Response/Damping. θ_Coh, xi_RL, η_Damp bound low-frequency inductance and achievable magnetization shoulder width.
- P04 · Topology/Recon/Terminal calibration. ζ_topo, ψ_interface reshape defect networks, co-modulating ρ_wall, η_tr, M_int.

VI. Summative Assessment
Strengths
- Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) captures the co-evolution of M_int/λ_int/d_dom, Δ_ex/P_s, θ_K/R_AHE, φ0/A_Ic, η_tr/ΔR_nl, ρ_wall, and L_k/f_k; parameters are physically interpretable and guide interface engineering (roughness/oxide/interlayers/SOC) and microwave chain/window optimization.
- Mechanism identifiability. Posterior significance of γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, θ_Coh, ξ_RL, ζ_topo separates Path–Sea, Coherence–Response, and Topology–Recon contributions.
- Engineering utility. Increasing ψ_interface/ψ_triplet and reducing σ_env amplifies M_int, φ0, η_tr, and optimizes A_Ic and f_k.
Blind spots
- Strong-scattering/self-heating limits entail non-Markovian memory and non-Gaussian noise, motivating fractional kernels and nonlinear shot statistics.
- In strong SOC/topological-candidate systems, θ_K and R_AHE may mix with topological edge states; angle-resolved and even/odd-field demixing are required.
Falsification line & experimental suggestions
- Falsification line: see JSON falsification_line above.
- Experiments:
- 2-D phase maps: chart M_int, φ0, θ_K/R_AHE over (T,B) to delineate the coherence window and shoulder positions.
- Interface engineering: scan width/roughness/oxide/interlayer thickness and annealing to quantify systematic drifts of ρ_wall, η_tr, M_int.
- Synchronized measurements: MOKE + μSR + φ0-junction + nanoSQUID concurrently to verify the hard link among M_int—φ0—ρ_wall.
- Environmental suppression: vibration/EM/thermal control to reduce σ_env and calibrate TBN impacts on θ_K/Δ_ex.
