Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A novel model is presented for spatio-temporal pattern formation in semiconductors. It leads to self-generated nonlinear current oscillations due to "breathing" current filaments in the regime of impurity impact ionization. The four qualitatively different regimes which have been observed in Ge with increasing current are consistently explained as: a stationary nonconducting state; bulkdominated oscillations; breathing filaments; stable filaments. The physical origin of the breathing oscillations is impact ionization coupled with transverse diffusion and longitudinal dielectric relaxation. A method is developed to derive simple nonlinear dynamic equations for the filament radius and the position of the peak transverse electric field by a nonlinear mode expansion. © 1990 Springer-Verlag.
