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
Density functional theory (DFT) and Monte Carlo (MC) techniques were used to investigate the adsorption behaviour of sulphur-containing molecules namely dibenzyl disulphide (DBDS) and copper sulphide (CuS) on different copper (Cu) surfaces. These sulphides are involved in the corrosion of copper windings in power transformers. The structural and quantum chemical parameters such as the molecular orbital energies, energy gaps and chemical hardness of these sulphides were investigated along with its electronic and energetic properties. To allow successful adsorption, the initial lattice parameters were determined prior to geometry optimization of all molecules and surfaces. The lowest adsorption energy configurations with its corresponding adsorption and deformation energies were determined. The density of adsorption sites were also determined. An adsorption energy comparison was done between the DBDS and CuS to determine the most reactive species on the different Cu surfaces. The reactivity of the two sulphides were investigated to provide a better understanding of the corrosion mechanism in transformers. The average bond distance between the sulphur (S) atom and the nearest Cu surface atom for the lowest energy configurations for both DBDS and CuS were compared in order to understand the behaviour of the sulphides.
