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
One-point calibration (OPC) high repetition rate laser-ablation spark-induced breakdown spectroscopy (HRR LA-SIBS) was used to realize the quantitative elemental analysis of aluminum alloy samples. In the experiments, a compact acousto-optically Q-switched Nd:YAG laser operated at a 1 kHz pulse repetition rate was used as the ablation laser and spark discharge was used to enhance the plasma emission. One standard aluminum alloy sample with a certified elemental concentration was used for calibration in the OPC procedure. Then compositions of four other aluminum alloy samples were predicted using the OPC HRR LA-SIBS technique and the results were compared with the certified concentration for each element. The predicted concentrations were found to be in good agreement with the certified concentrations and the averaged relative errors are 0.065%, 13.03%, 11.97%, 19.45%, 9.77% and 7.81% for Al, Mg, Cu, Cr, Mn and Zn, respectively. It is demonstrated that OPC HRR LA-SIBS is able to enable convenient and reliable quantitative analysis for both major and minor elements in aluminum alloys.
