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
In this work, we investigate the structural and electronic properties of a newly-discovered two-dimensional Janus PdSSemonolayer, as well as its controllable structural and electronic properties under an electric field and strain engineering using first-principles calculations. We find that the Janus PdSSemonolayer is structurally anisotropic, energetically favorable and dynamically stable. The Janus PdSSemonolayer is an indirect band gap semiconductor with the band gap of 0.26/1.26 eV given by the PBE/HSE06 method. Furthermore, the electronic properties of the Janus PdSSemonolayer can be tuned by applying an electric field and strain engineering. The electric field gives rise to a transition from indirect to direct band gap and semiconductor to metal, whereas strain engineering only leads to the semiconductor to metal transition. Our finding reveals that the important materials properties of the Janus PdSSemonolayer would have wide applications in new functional devices.
