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 a nonvolatile organic transistor-type memory based on biaxially extended quaterthiophene (4T) and dithienothiophene-based donor (D)-acceptor (A) copolymers. In this work, the effects of donor-acceptor chemical structures on the memory characteristics were investigated. We have found that the charge storage capability can be manipulated by the acceptor strength of the donor-acceptor copolymers. 4T-based D-A copolymers with strong electron-accepting benzothiadiazole (P4T-BT) and diketopyrrolopyrrole (P4T-DPP) exhibited large memory windows (55 and 79 V, respectively). However, the donor-only copolymer, poly(4T-dithenothiophene) (P4T-DTT), and the D-A copolymer with weak electron-withdrawing qunioxaline (P4T-Q) showed smaller memory windows of 7 and 11 V, respectively. This indicates that the strong acceptors play a crucial rule in enhancing memory behaviors. The ON and OFF states of the D-A polymer devices can be maintained over 3 × 10 s with the I/I current ratios of 10-10, and the write-read-erase-read (WRER) cycles can be operated over 200 cycles, indicating excellent nonvolatile flash-type memory behaviors. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first work systematically investigating the influence of the chemical structures of the acceptor moieties on the nonvolatile flash polymer memory applications.
