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
Hybrid transparent conductive thin films (TCFs) with a bilayer structure composed of aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) and Cu micro-mesh (CuM) are prepared on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates. The AZO layers are deposited by RF magnetron sputtering at room temperature. The CuM is fabricated by UV-lithography and DC magnetron sputtering. The optical properties and conductivity can be modified by the thickness of CuM, and the conduction mechanism involving metal Cu–AZO carrier injection is proposed. The flexible CuM/AZO composite thin films exhibit outstanding optoelectronic performance, with the best figure of merit ≈ 1247 (at average optical transmittance of 85.8%, sheet resistance of 1.9 Ω/sq. and resistivity of 1.89 × 10 Ω·cm), as well as excellent mechanical flexibility. The resulting hybrid TCFs with CuM/AZO composite structure show potential applications in flexible electronics, organic light emitting diodes and photovoltaic devices.
