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
In the present study, the performance improvement of the promising eco-friendly CuZnSnS (CZTS) solar cells have been investigated numerically using Al plasmonic nanoparticles. The optical and electrical simulations were performed using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. It was revealed that loading plasmonic nanoparticles on the topmost layer of the CZTS solar cell leads to light absorption enhancement in the cell. By sweeping the radius of plasmonic nanoparticles from 20 nm to 60 nm, a significant enhancement in the efficiency occurred. The variation of the external quantum efficiency (EQE) and photovoltaic current density–voltage (J–V) curve under air mass of AM1.5 with and without plasmonic nanoparticles were also studied.
