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
The tunneling peak due to electron transport through deep donor (DX) centers was observed in the AlGaAs/AlAs/Al GaAs/AlAs/AlGaAs resonant tunneling diodes (0.40≤x≤0.50). Since the carriers are frozen out in AlGaAs (x≥0.35) at low temperature, the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics can only be measured under laser illumination condition. It was found that this DX center related tunneling peak initially appeared at higher voltage when the laser was turned on, and it gradually shifted to lower voltage over several minutes. This peak eventually merged into the lower voltage tunneling peak at temperature below 76 K, but stayed apart at higher temperature. This unusual behavior is attributed to the simultaneous existence of the impurity band formed by the metastable DX states associated with X band [DX(X)] and their isolated double charged states [DX (X)]. This tunneling peak is not observed when the AlAs mole fraction x is reduced to 0.35.
