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.

Book Chapter Description
High-performance electronic and optoelectronic devices based on semiconductor heterostructures are required to obtain increasingly strict and well-defined performances, needing a detailed control, at the atomic level, of the structural composition of the buried interfaces. This goal has been achieved by an improvement in the epitaxial growth techniques and by the parallel use of increasingly sophisticated characterization techniques and of increasingly accurate ab initio calculations. This chapter, introducing the book Characterization of Semi-conductor Heterostructures and Nanostructures, is divided into five sections. In \ Section 1, the impact of nanoscience and nanotechnology in our society is described, using the point of view of the articles, the citations and the journals devoted to the field. The multidisciplinary nature of nanotechnology is reported in \ Section 2, while the dynamic interplay among growth/synthesis techniques, theoretical modeling, and characterization techniques in the design and improvement of semiconductor heterostructure-based devices is discussed in \ Section 3. \ Section 4 reports the purposes of the book and the layout of the chapters. Finally, in \ Section 5, the strength of combined experimental and theoretical investigation of a selected nanomaterial is underlined by an example.
