Have you made any attempt yourself to do this? If no, then perhaps you should. If yes, then it might help if you showed the code you've put together so far.

Yes, I used tanh(x) but I need another function?

Hi, the fitting function "y = p1/(1+Exp(p2+p3*x)+p4*x)^p5" is pretty good for all data set, where y=L, x=T

@Mushtaq Al-Jubbori, you say "I wish to developement the function coth(x)-1/x"
Well, I gave you code for that here:
You're free to develop the function further if you want.

Thank you, but when run the cod appear.. Undefined function or variable 'FitCoth'

You can start using curve fitting toolbox, cftool that is quite straightforward and does not require any addional coding.
An alternative way is the least squares method for that you have you data ready. You'd need to generate Vandermonde matrix and then compute the fit model coefficients.

NO. You do NOT want to use a polynomial model for that data!
Polynomials NEVER have the property that they roll over and then become flat.
Sulaymon Eshkabilov
Sulaymon Eshkabilov on 8 Jun 2021
@John D'Errico This polynomial model is shown here mean to be an example not the proposed model. For V matrix it is viable to insert exp(), sin(), cos() tan() and polynonials in combination.

@Mushtaq Al-Jubbori. What I did was to find where the flat part starts and fit the data to the left of that to an exponential growth curve. As an output you have the location where the flat part starts and the coefficients of the exponential fitted equation. Try this (click the copy icon in the upper right of the code block below and then paste into MATLAB):
clc; % Clear command window.
fprintf('Running %s.m ...\n', mfilename);
clear; % Delete all variables.
close all; % Close all figure windows except those created by imtool.
workspace; % Make sure the workspace panel is showing.

I don't know if coth(x)-1/x is ok or not. It doesn't seem to fit as well as the piecewise exponential growth function I suggested.
x = linspace(-100, 100, 1000);
y = coth(x) - 1 ./ x;
plot(x, y, 'b-', 'lineWidth', 2);
grid on;
but let's say that YOU say it's ok. So please explain the physical meaning of the curve, meaning how it theoretically applies to the physical process you are modeling, which is "Track length of alpha pariclese and etchin time". Presumably someone published a paper where the physics says it should be that equation theoretically.
I don't think the fit looks very good. Defined the model as Y = a * coth(b * x) - c ./ x
Code is attached.

Here's what I put together. This is only for the T5-L5 data. You can repeat this for the rest of the data and build up the plot with the remaining points and lines.
L5=[3 3.4 3.8 4.4 5.2 6 6.8 8 9.2 10.8 12.8 15 16.4 17.4 17.8 17.6 17.8 17.8 17.6 17.8 17.8];%4.85MeV
T5=[2:0.5:7.5 7.7 8:0.5:10.5 11.5 12];
threshold = 0.2; % adjust accordingly
% find elbow (index where curve transitions to flat line)
elbow = find(diff(L5) < threshold, 1);
% plot markers, set axis limits
plot(T5, L5, 'or', 'markerfacecolor', 'r');
ax = gca;
ax.YLim = [0 20];
ax.XLim = [0 15];
% plot flat line
x1 = T5(elbow); x2 = T5(end);
y1 = mean(L5(elbow):L5(end)); y2 = y1;
line([x1 x2], [y1 y2], 'color', 'r', 'linewidth', 1.5);
hold on;
% plot curved line using polynomial fit
x = T5(1:elbow);
ySample = L5(1:elbow);
pf = polyfit(x,ySample,5); % order 5 looks pretty good
y = polyval(pf, x)
y(end) = L5(elbow); % ensure curved line meets flat line
plot(x, y, 'r', 'linewidth', 1.5);

This nonlinear least squares fit gives quite nice fit models:
...
x = T2;
y = L2;
p = [1, 3]; % Guess: Fit model parameters
q = [-1, -3]; % Guess: Fit model parameters
plot(x,y,'r*')
xlabel 't'
ylabel 'Response'
p = optimvar('p',2);
q = optimvar('q',2);
fun = p(1)*(1+exp(q(1)+q(2)*x) + p(2)*x).^-0.65;
obj = sum((fun - y).^2);
LSQ_Prob = optimproblem("Objective",obj);
x0.p = [1/2, 5/2];
x0.q = [-1/2,-5/2];
show(LSQ_Prob) % Display the problem formulation and parameters
[Sol,fval] = solve(LSQ_Prob,x0) % Show the results
figure
FM_val = evaluate(fun,Sol);
plot(x,y,'r*', x, FM_val,'b-')
legend('Original Data','Fitted Curve', 'location', 'southeast')
xlabel('T')
ylabel('L & Fit Model')
title("Data vs. Fitted Model Response")
SStot = sum((y-mean(y)).^2);
SSres = sum((y-FM_val).^2);
Rsq = 1 - SSres/SStot;
gtext(['R^2 = ' num2str(Rsq)])
gtext(['Fit model: ' num2str(Sol.p(1)) '*(1+exp(' num2str(Sol.q(1)) ' + ' num2str(Sol.q(2)) '*x) + ' num2str(Sol.p(2)) '*x).^{-0.65}'])
fprintf('Found fit model is: %f *(1+exp(%f+%f*x) + %f*x)^-0.65 \n', [Sol.p(1), Sol.q(1), Sol.q(2), Sol.p(2)])

OK, fine. Then use the piecewise function I gave you, or use ad hoc function mysteriously found by that third party software.
but you may need to upgrade your MATLAB, as you said.
