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
Interaction of oxygen with the Mo(1 1 2) surface precovered by submonolayer beryllium films with various coverage degrees (θ < 1) has been investigated by Auger electron spectroscopy, LEED and contact potential difference techniques. We have studied the effect of Be coverage degree on the oxygen adsorption kinetics, atomic structure and electronic properties of the O/Be/Mo(1 1 2) system. Contrary to the case of full-monolayer Be precoverage (θ = 1), beryllium submonolayers can speed up the initial adsorption kinetics of oxygen by a factor of 10. The high sticking coefficient of oxygen on the Be/Mo(1 1 2) surface at θ < 1 can be explained by the existence of areas on Mo(1 1 2) that are free of Be and provide fast oxygen adsorption, with O adatoms migrating further to the areas covered with Be (the spillover effect). The creation of beryllium oxide even on limited surface areas substantially decreases the oxygen sticking coefficient. This effect may originate from the surface deformation due to a structural misfit between the Be/O layer and the substrate. The coadsorbed Be/O layers with θ < 1 modify the work function to values between those specific of the O/Be/Mo(1 1 2) systems with θ = 0 and 1, which complies with the heterogeneous adlayer model.
