The substitution of nitrogen atoms in macrocycle with C, O, or S can significantly impact the synthetic feasibility and stability of the macrocyclic structure. In this study, the structures, stability, and electronic properties of transition metal (TM) embedded C<sub>44</sub>H<sub>8</sub>N<sub>4</sub>F<sub>20</sub> and its derivatives have been systematically investigated using density functional theory. The results indicate that the S atom in TMC<sub>44</sub>H<sub>8</sub>N<sub>3</sub>SF<sub>20</sub> deviates significantly from the central plane of the macrocycle. The overall structural stability of TMC<sub>44</sub>H<sub>8</sub>N<sub>4</sub>F<sub>20</sub> and its derivatives follows the descending order: TMC<sub>45</sub>H<sub>8</sub>N<sub>3</sub>F<sub>20 </sub>&gt; TMC<sub>44</sub>H<sub>8</sub>N<sub>4</sub>F<sub>20</sub> &gt; TMC<sub>44</sub>H<sub>8</sub>N<sub>3</sub>OF<sub>20</sub> &gt; TMC<sub>44</sub>H<sub>8</sub>N<sub>3</sub>SF<sub>20</sub>.

In this work, we presented a scalable strategy for engineering porous silicon (PS) PDs functionalized with femtosecond-laser-ablated silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) using a spray-time-controlled deposition approach. Ag-NPs exhibited strong colloidal stability with a negative surface charge of − 35 mV by zeta potential, and deposited onto PS using optimized spray durations of 250 s (PS- Ag<sub>1</sub>-NPs) and 350 s (PS- Ag<sub>2</sub>-NPs). FESEM analysis revealed that Ag incorporation induced a clear size-dependent evolution (13.97 nm for PS- Ag<sub>1</sub>-NPs and 19.83 nm for PS- Ag<sub>2</sub>-NPs) and increased PS layer thickness from 2.27 to 2.65 µm and 2.78 µm, respectively. XRD and FTIR confirmed SiO<sub>2</sub> and AgO formation, with intensities rising with Ag content. Graphite electrodes provided stable ohmic contacts, with thermal annealing at 130 °C for 30 min further improving adhesion and stability. Voltage-dependent I-V characteristics were recorded from 0–5.2 V for all devices, followed by wavelength-resolved photocurrent measurements across the UV-Red spectrum at 2.8, 4.0, and 5.2 V. Ag functionalization substantially reconfigured the spectral response: Under 5.2 V bias, PS- Ag<sub>1</sub>-NPs PD exhibited a peak response in the green region (530 nm, 1.7 mW/cm<sup>2</sup>), achieved a sensitivity of 310.07% and a responsivity of 0.484 A/W, meanwhile, the PS- Ag<sub>2</sub>-NPs PD reached its maximum response in the yellow region (575 nm, 2.1 mW/cm<sup>2</sup>), with 332.40% sensitivity and 0.566 A/W responsivity, outperforming unmodified PS PD (264.62%, 0.106 A/W). Devices demonstrated excellent repeatability (&lt; 9.78% variation) and retained over 91% sensitivity after 60 days.

UV–Vis measurements yielded an optical band gap of approximately 2.95 eV, providing insight into the optical characteristics of the Thorin interlayer. Current–voltage characteristics were measured at illumination intensities of 0–100 mW cm<sup>−2</sup>, and the main diode parameters were determined using thermionic-emission and Norde methods. The extracted ideality factor increased from 1.55 under dark conditions to 2.41 at the highest illumination intensity, indicating significant deviations from ideal thermionic emission behavior. The photocurrent followed a slightly superlinear power-law dependence on illumination intensity, with α ≈ 1.18, while the photosensitivity exponent β ≈ 1.18 reflected a similar intensity-dependent trend without uniquely identifying the underlying transport mechanism. The device exhibited its strongest measured wavelength-dependent response at 365 nm, with a responsivity of approximately 0.08 A W<sup>−1</sup> and an estimated specific detectivity of approximately 2 × 10<sup>10</sup> Jones, calculated using a dark-current-based shot-noise-limited approximation under the reported measurement conditions. Responsivity, specific detectivity, and ON/OFF ratio increased with reverse bias, demonstrating bias-dependent photodetection characteristics. A finite zero-bias photocurrent indicated the capability for self-powered photodetection. Furthermore, the device retained its photoresponse after 30 days, with relatively limited changes in its measured characteristics. Although its responsivity and detectivity remain below those of several recently reported UV photodetectors, the results demonstrate the feasibility of incorporating Thorin as a chemically distinct organic interlayer in silicon-based UV photodiodes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":792,"journal":{"name":"The European Physical Journal Plus","volume":"141 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149338390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We remove this obstruction with the <i>truncated Kiselev</i> (TK) geometry, whose dimensionless density <span>(sigma (r)=4pi r^{2}rho)</span> has a spike-like power-law core of index <span>(alpha)</span> and a truncation index <span>(beta)</span> that reproduces the NFW-to-Hernquist range of halo fall-offs. We show that <span>(p_{r}=-rho)</span> is not an extra assumption but the condition for a single-function metric and for a regular non-degenerate horizon when the fluid reaches it. On <span>(alpha &gt;0)</span>, <span>(1&lt;alpha +beta le 2)</span>, <span>(xi ge 1)</span>, <span>(sigma _{H}&lt;1/2)</span> all four energy conditions hold, the ADM mass is finite, the horizon sits at <span>(r=2M)</span> and the Smarr relation closes. We prove three <i>selection rules</i>: to first order in <span>(sigma)</span> the critical curve measures only the Misner–Sharp mass inside the photon sphere, the radiative efficiency only the local density at the ISCO, and the strong-deflection coefficient only <span>(rho +p_{t})</span> at the photon sphere. These yield a mass-independent lensing–emission consistency relation and a dominant-energy bound <span>(mathfrak {a}le 15,mathfrak {b})</span>. A first-order slow-rotation extension with a zero-angular-momentum environment leaves the shadow size unchanged at <i>O</i>(<i>J</i>) and relaxes the bound to <span>(mathfrak {a}le 15,mathfrak {b}+0.238,J/M^{2})</span>. Treating M87* and Sgr A* separately, the Sgr A* shadow with independent mass and distance bounds the mass fraction outside the photon sphere to <span>(F_{textrm{out}}&lt;0.39)</span> (95%), whereas the M87* bound is limited by its mass systematics.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":792,"journal":{"name":"The European Physical Journal Plus","volume":"141 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149338392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
