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
By monitoring the time dependence of the thermal conductivity of a p,p’-diheptylazobenzene sample irradiated with UV light of various intensities, a quantitative study is presented on the effects played by the photo-induced trans to cis isomerization on the degree of the homeotropic alignment in its nematic phase. In particular, the kinetics of the changes eventually leading to the nematic–isotropic phase transformation has been investigated. Unlike the case of the thermal diffusivity analyzed in a recent study, the thermal conductivity analysis has enabled the quantitative evaluation of the trans – cis transformation rates since it is not affected by the specific heat critical behavior and, therefore, it is determined only by changes in the molecular structure induced by the photo-isomerization. The study has been possible thanks to the peculiarity of the adopted photopyroelectric calorimetric setup that enabled both the calorimetric evaluations, as well as the sample texture characterization, to be performed during the UV illumination of the sample.
