Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting 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
Using the high working pressure plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (HWP-PECVD) technique, the hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H) films for photovoltaic layers of thin film solar cells was investigated. The μc-Si:H films were deposited on surface textured fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass substrates at 100 Torr in a 100 MHz very high frequency (VHF) plasma of gas mixtures containing He, H, and SiH. It was found that an optimum ratio of the H/SiH flow-rate existed for growing a homogenous microcrystalline through the whole film without amorphous incubation layer. When an intrinsic μc-Si:H thin film was deposited at n-i-p single junction solar cell, the cell performances were dependent on with or without an amorphous incubation layer. With an amorphous incubation layer, the open circuit voltage (V) of cell was 0.8 V, which was typical cell property of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H). On the other hand, at the optimum ratio of the H/SiH flow-rate, μc-Si:H single cell responding an infrared light showed the V of 0.4 V.
