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
Reversible molecular switches with molecular orientation as the information carrier have been achieved on individual phthalocyanine (HPc) molecules adsorbed on a Cu(100) surface at room temperature. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) imaging directly demonstrates that HPc molecules can be controlled to move along the [011] or [011] surface direction of the Cu(100) surface, and the orientation of HPc molecules can also be switched between two angles of ±28° with respect to the [011] surface direction by a lateral manipulation. Owing to the highly efficient control over the adsorption site and orientation of HPc adsorbed on the Cu(100) surface by lateral manipulation, a pyramidal array formed by 10 HPc molecules has been constructed on the Cu surface as a prototype of binary memory, and every molecule within such a molecular array can be individually and reversibly controlled by a STM tip.
