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
Local structures and energies were calculated for the interaction of acetone molecules with ice I at the (0001) surface, in the bulk and at small-angle grain boundaries. Force-field methods were used; for the surface additionally ab initio calculations were done. An ordered crystal-structure model of ice I in space group P112 (Z = 8) was used. The small-angle grain boundary was set up as a series of line defects with Burgers vectors of [2/3 1/3 1/2] (in the hexagonal lattice of ice I). All calculations were carried out with one or two acetone molecules in a sufficiently large simulation box containing up to 4608 water molecules, representing the low concentration of acetone in the atmosphere. The adsorption on the surface is energetically preferred. The acetone molecule is bound to the surface by two hydrogen bonds. This result is in contrast to earlier works with high acetone concentrations where only one hydrogen bond is formed. With two hydrogen bonds the adsorption enthalpy is calculated as -41.5 kJ mol , which is in agreement with experimental results. The interaction at small-angle grain boundaries is energetically less favourable than at the surface but much more favourable than in the bulk ice. In bulk ice and at small-angle grain boundaries the acetone molecule is bound by two hydrogen bonds like at the surface. The incorporation of acetone in bulk ice distorts the crystal structure significantly, whereas an incorporation at a small-angle grain boundary leads only to a minor distortion. © 2009 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
