Firstly that should read

xlabel("...T^{-1}")

otherwise the "-" is superscripted but the 1 isn't. This follows TeX 
conventions.

Secondly, you won't get the superscripts, etc on the screen. But if you then 
do something like

gset term postscript enhanced color solid 'Times-Roman' 18
gset output 'myplot.ps'
replot

You'll get them in the postscript file myplot.ps
