First, it integrates high-temperature-resistant metal titanium (Ti) and semiconductor indium arsenide (InAs) into a gradient-like pyramid structure for the first time—this design breaks the limitations of single-material systems (InAs has a narrow intrinsic absorption bandwidth, and pure Ti suffers from insufficient radiation stability). Second, a novel triple-resonance mechanism is developed to realize multi-scale light manipulation: Mie resonance at the pyramid apex enables high-efficiency absorption of ultraviolet-near-infrared (UV-NIR) light, Fabry-Perot cavities in the gaps trap mid-infrared light, and plasmonic-semiconductor coupling at the Ti/InAs interface achieves a 3–5-fold enhancement of the local electric field. Third, the symmetric structure ensures polarization independence and incident angle insensitivity, addressing the issue of performance degradation of traditional absorbers under oblique incidence. Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) simulations combined with preliminary experimental verification confirm the excellent performance of this design: the broadband average absorption rate in the 280–3000 nm range reaches 99.06 %, and the weighted average absorption efficiency under AM1.5 conditions is 99.02 % with a solar energy loss of only 0.98. It maintains high radiation efficiency at high temperatures: 97.15 % at 1000 K and 97.77 % at 1200 K (benefiting from the high-temperature stability of Ti (melting point: 1668 °C) and the enhanced high-temperature carrier excitation of InAs).

Our results show that Mn prefers intercalated and embedded positions rather than surface adsorption, as cohesive energy calculations indicate enhanced stability in these configurations. Nudged elastic band (NEB) calculations revealed an energy barrier of 0.68 eV for the migration of Mn into the interlayer, comparable to other substrates, suggesting accessible diffusion pathways. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations further demonstrated an intercalation concentration-dependent behavior. Mn atoms initially adsorb on the surface and gradually diffuse inward, resulting in an effective intercalation at higher Mn densities before clustering effects emerge.
