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
Materials with low work function values (< 2 eV) are highly in demand for low temperature thermionic electron emission, which is a key phenomenon for waste heat recovery applications. Here we present the work function reduction of phosphorus (P) doped (i) diamond nanocrystals grown on conical carbon nanotubes (CCNTs) and (ii) diamond films grown on silicon substrates. Thermionic emission measurements from phosphorus doped diamond crystals on CCNTs resulted in a work function value of 2.23 eV. The CCNTs provide the conducting backbone for the P-doped diamond nanocrystals and the reduced work-function is interpreted as due to the presence of midband-gap state and no evidence for negative electron affinity was seen. However, ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy studies on phosphorus doped diamond films yielded a work function value of ~ 1.8 eV with a negative electron affinity (NEA) value of 1.2 eV. Detailed band diagrams are presented to support the observed values for both cases.
