Hi, Sophia, as far as I know, it is possible to overlap any material with PML. The PML condition however applies for the whole boundary, so it can not be defined in its part only.
Note I had some numerical stability issues when the PML was defined on one axis only while the other boundaries were periodic. The nearly-grazing incidence waves could be slightly _amplified_ by PML. This problem never happened when the PML was at all boundaries, nor it happened when the structure was defined with sufficient losses.
