The novelty of the proposed design lies in the systematic optimization of the sensing-rod radius to achieve an effective balance between optical confinement, resonance quality, and refractive-index sensitivity, thereby enabling simultaneous high-Q and high-sensitivity operation in a compact photonic structure. The band structure is obtained using the plane-wave expansion (PWE) technique, while the sensor performance is evaluated using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. To evaluate the device behavior, transmission spectra and the corresponding resonance wavelength shifts are thoroughly examined. Analyte detection is based on monitoring refractive index variations of different analytes under excitation from a 1550 nm light source. Furthermore, the influence of the detection rod radius (<span>(R_D)</span>) is systematically explored to achieve optimal performance. The proposed sensor demonstrates superior characteristics, achieving a high quality factor of 8.6399<span>(times)</span>10<span>(^{textrm{5}})</span> and a high sensitivity of 800 nm/RIU.

The impact of fabrication variations is further analyzed, showing a significant tolerance to imperfections of up to 20 nm, indicating high fabrication yield and practical feasibility.

The electrical conductance is evaluated using density functional theory combined with quantum transport calculations to systematically compare the transport properties of single- and double-backbone molecular junctions. The results demonstrate that introducing a second molecular backbone consistently enhances the electrical conductance through constructive quantum interference between parallel transport pathways. However, the magnitude of this enhancement depends strongly on both the molecular structure and the anchoring groups, leading to systematic deviations from classical conductance additivity. Quantitative comparison with the classical (<span>({2G}_{1})</span>) and ideal quantum (<span>({4G}_{1})</span>) reference models shows that the conductance of double-backbone junctions consistently exceeds the classical limit while remaining below or approaching the ideal quantum limit, depending on the molecular system and anchoring group. For thiol-anchored junctions, the predicted conductance trends are in good agreement with previously reported scanning tunneling microscopy break-junction measurements, supporting the predictive capability of the computational approach. Overall, this study establishes a general computational framework for evaluating conductance superposition in molecular junctions and demonstrates that coherent quantum interference, together with molecular structure and anchoring chemistry, governs charge transport beyond the predictions of classical circuit theory. These findings provide fundamental insight into charge transport in molecular-scale electronic systems and offer design guidelines for the development of future high-conductance molecular junctions based on multi-pathway architectures.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":620,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational Electronics","volume":"25 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10825-026-02650-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149189438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analysis reveals that the overall effect of the 2DEG and 2DHG significantly influences the filling of quantum levels, with maximum sheet carrier charge densities of approximately 1.5 × 10⁻<sup>13</sup> cm<sup>−2</sup> occurring at a distance of 2 nm, followed by a secondary peak around 13.5 nm.

CYFRA 21–1, a soluble fragment of cytokeratin 19 shed into the bloodstream during epithelial tumor-cell turnover, is a well-established serum indicator of NSCLC and an attractive target for minimally invasive screening. In this work, we construct an in silico model of a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) immunosensor for CYFRA 21–1 and use it to probe how the choice of binding kinetics and the density of immobilized antibody together shape the sensor response. Capture of the antigen was simulated at the following analyte concentrations (1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 75 and 100 ng/mL) and three fractions of the theoretical maximum antibody density (10%, 50% and 100%) under two kinetic descriptions, the Langmuir adsorption model and a first-order binding model, producing 84 runs in total in Python 3.9. The Langmuir formulation, which imposes a finite pool of binding sites and reversible association, reproduced surface saturation and returned frequency-shift predictions in line with the physical behavior of a QCM, whereas the first-order model, having no saturation constraint, consistently overstated the response. At 10% antibody coverage, the modeled device reached a limit of detection of 0.014 ng/mL over a linear window of 1–100 ng/mL (R<sup>2</sup> &gt; 0.9999).

However, the long-term performance of PV modules is affected by progressive degradation, which reduces not only their power output, but may also alter the power quality of the complete conversion system. This study investigates the long-term effects of the PV module aging on the electrical performance and the current Total Harmonic Distortion (THD<sub><i>i</i></sub>) of a standalone PV system. Aging is simulated through established degradation laws applied to three key parameters of the single-diode model: the optical transmittance of the semi-transparent upper layer, the series resistance and the shunt resistance. A comprehensive MATLAB/Simulink model, including the PV module, a DC–DC converter, a MPPT controller, a DC–AC inverter, a LC filter, and a resistive load, is used to determine the voltage, the current, the power, and the harmonic spectrum evolution over a 50-year simulation horizon. The combined effects of aging and operating temperature are also investigated. The results show that the PV module output power decreases from 238.5 W in the initial state to 149.1 W after 50 years, corresponding to a loss of approximately 37.5%, while the inverter output current THD<sub><i>i</i></sub> increases from 2.17 to 13.63%. A configuration-dependent transition occurs between years 32 and 33, when the THD<sub><i>i</i></sub> rises from 4.51 to 5.91% and exceeds the 5% comparative benchmark adopted with reference to IEEE 519-2022. Elevated temperatures further amplify harmonic distortion in aged operating conditions, with the THD<sub><i>i</i></sub> reaching 18.87% after 50 years at 75 °C. Frequency domain analysis reveals that the degradation is associated not only with an increase in the overall distortion, but also with a redistribution of spectral energy toward the lower-frequency harmonics, the interharmonics, and the modulation sidebands. This evolution is quantitatively characterized by decreases in the spectral centroid and spectral entropy. These findings demonstrate the potential of combined THD<sub><i>i</i></sub> and spectral indicators as indirect features for the PV system condition monitoring and the predictive maintenance. Nevertheless, an experimental validation is required before the proposed indicators and the aging threshold can both be generalized to other PV technologies, converter configurations and operating conditions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":620,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational Electronics","volume":"25 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149133307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
