The absorber achieves five distinct absorption bands within the 9–14 THz frequency range, with an average absorption rate of 96.4 %. By tuning the bias voltage, the Fermi level of graphene can be dynamically adjusted, allowing flexible control over the absorption frequencies. Moreover, the device maintains strong absorption performance for incident angles up to 60°, making it suitable for a wide range of oblique incidences. Due to the absence of 90° rotational symmetry in the structural design, the absorber exhibits notable variations in absorption efficiency at certain frequencies when the polarization angle of the incident wave is altered. This unique polarization-dependent behavior holds potential for applications in photonic and optoelectronic devices that require polarization-selective responses to electromagnetic waves. In addition, the highest sensitivity(S) and figure of merit (FOM) of the absorber reached 10670nm/RIU and 32.7/RIU, respectively, showcasing the absorber's superior sensitivity and efficient tunability.

The results reveal that multilayer configurations significantly attenuate transmitted pressures through interfacial stress dissipation, while suppressing FCC-to-BCC transitions. The spallation resistance is found to scale non-monotonically with layer count: increased interfaces reduce damage via energy dissipation, yet thinner layers exacerbate localized tensile stresses, reflecting a competition between Hall-Petch strengthening and stress concentration effects. Furthermore, comparative analysis with pure Ni/Al multilayers reveals that interface misfit dislocations induced by the incorporation of HEA serve as active nucleation sources for Shockley partial dislocations and stacking fault pyramids, dynamically regulating defect propagation and phase stability.
