Metric Options: Counts3 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
Nanoscale electron field emitters are known to produce more stable electron emissions than conventional emitters. This has been attributed to size effects; nanoscale emitters can operate with a small emission current and a low extraction voltage, which reduces the bombardment of residual gas ions on the emitter tip. However, our experiments discovered that nanoscale LaB emitters had extremely stable emissions, suggesting that chemical effects are present in addition to size effects. This suggests that during operations, a material other than LaB may be deposited on the surface of the tip to enhance the stability of emissions. Therefore, we searched for possible materials theoretically within the La-B-O ternary system and found that lanthanum oxides (LaO) and oxygen-deficient LaO (LaO) had good electrical conductivity and a low work function comparable to that of LaB. These lanthanum oxides are chemically less reactive to residual gases than LaB. Thus, if they are present on the LaB surface, they could stabilize electron emissions without diminishing the emission performance. These findings suggest that lanthanum oxides could be used for electron field emitters.
