Microscopic model for<b><i>d</i></b>-wave charge-carrier pairing and non-Fermi-liquid behavior in a purely repulsive two-dimensional electron system
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We investigate a microscopic model for strongly correlated electrons with both on-site and nearest-neighbor Coulomb repulsion on a two-dimensional (2D) square lattice. This exhibits a state in which electrons undergo a ``somersault'' in their internal spin space (spin flux) as they traverse a closed loop in external coordinate space. When this spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ antiferromagnetic (AFM) insulator is doped, the ground state is a liquid of charged, bosonic meron vortices, which for topological reasons are created in vortex-antivortex pairs. The magnetic exchange energy of the distorted AFM background leads to a logarithmic vortex-antivortex attraction which overcomes the direct Coulomb repulsion between holes localized on the vortex cores. This leads to the appearance of preformed charged pairs. We use the configuration interaction (CI) method to study the quantum translational and rotational motion of various charged magnetic solitons and soliton pairs. The CI method systematically describes fluctuation and quantum tunneling corrections to the Hartree-Fock approximation. We find that the lowest-energy charged meron-antimeron pairs exhibit d-wave rotational symmetry, consistent with the symmetry of the cuprate superconducting order parameter. For a single hole in the 2D AFM plane, we find a precursor to spin-charge separation in which a conventional charged spin polaron dissociates into a singly charged meron-antimeron bound pair. This model provides a unified microscopic basis for (i) non-Fermi-liquid transport properties, (ii) d-wave preformed charged carrier pairs, (iii) midinfrared optical absorption, (iv) destruction of AFM long-range order with doping and other magnetic properties, and (v) certain aspects of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
