Our system, a variant of the Lipkin model, is based on the SU(2) quasi-spin algebra and features a multiplet structure in which fermions transition from an unpaired ground state to a highly paired state as temperature rises. This purely thermal phase transition is marked by a pronounced peak in Fisher information, statistical complexity, and entropy, all of which become sharper and more singular as the number of particles increases. Notably, pairing emerges in the absence of any explicit pairing force.

Furthermore, contamination from polymer residues, commonly introduced in traditional lithographic processes, is entirely eliminated. Another significant advantage is the extremely short fabrication time. The charge neutrality point (CNP), which had been strongly shifted to higher gate voltages due to unintentional p-type doping, was substantially lowered by current-induced cleaning. Temperature-dependent conductance and magnetoresistance (MR) measurements are presented. Negative MR behavior was analyzed using weak localization theory, allowing extraction of scattering lengths, which were compared with values reported in previous studies.
