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
Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate F continuously bombarding Si-terminated 3C-SiC(001) surfaces with incident energies of 10, 100 and 200 eV at normal incidence and room temperature. For an energy of 10 eV, deposition only occurs on the surface. For energies larger than 10 eV, accompanying the saturation of F uptake, a balance between F deposition from the incident atoms and F removal from the fluorinated substrate is established, while the steady-state etching is reached. The simulated results demonstrate that Si atoms in SiC are preferentially etched, which is in good agreement with experiments. The preferential etching of Si results in formation of a C-rich interfacial layer whose thickness increases with increasing incident energy. The analysis shows that Si-containing etch products are dominant. © Springer-Verlag 2007.
