Convergence test - wave optics interface

considering the scattering problem off of a si nanosphere: a si nanosphere radius 250nm and a pml radius of 2300 nm. Incident radiation with lambda = 1000nm propagating in z direction has an electric field component in the x direction E0*exp(ikz). and E0 = 1 V/m.

why does the power outflow time averaged plotted against the thickness of pml layer stay constant for increasing pml thickness up until about 1.5 times the incident wavelength and decrease sharply later? (or alternatively, power outflow time averaged vs the radius of the airdomain outside the nano-particle, excluding the pml layer - increase with increase in physical domain radius or the surface area of the air -domain and then reaches a constant value at about a radius 1.5 times the incident wavelength?)

Considering that the time averaged power outflow is the integral of the Poynting vector over the surface area of the physical domain (the pml absorbs the radiation entering it, making integral over the entire model domain redundant), this should mean that the scattering energy increases with the surface area of the air domain outside the nanoparticle- (excluding the pml layer). what then, is expected to happen as the physical domain surface area increases to infinity?? ![https://imgur.com/oHYxy4S]
