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
We report the observation of quantized growth in magic-sized CdSe and CdTe nanocrystals that utilize diisooctylphosphinic acid as the surface passivating ligand. The interaction between the diisooctylphosphinic acid and the coordinating solvent, hexadecylamine, results in the growth of only certain allowed sizes of nanocrystals. Magic-sized CdSe nanocrystals were synthesized with band edge absorption peaks at 414, 446, and 490 nm. Magic-sized CdTe nanocrystals were synthesized with band edge absorption peaks at 445 and 483 nm. The synthesis detailed here allows for the isolation of larger magic-sized nanocrystals than has been previously reported. The emission of diisooctylphosphinic acid-capped magic-sized nanocrystals is low, with a quantum yield of less than 1%. Photoluminescence excitation scans revealed a significantly reduced emission from absorption at the band edge. The diameter for the smallest CdSe magic-size was 1.7 nm, and the diameter for the smallest CdTe magic-size was 1.8 nm, as determined by transmission electron microscopy. ©2010 American Chemical Society.
