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
A comprehensive study of a compact electron spectrometer coupled with a Mott polarimeter is presented. This device is operated in ultrahigh vacuum (1×10 Torr) and optimized to investigate the polarized photoemission from negative electron affinity semiconductors. The electron energy dispersing device is made up of two 90° cylindrical electrostatic deflectors. It combines optimum geometry to allow spin-polarization measurements with high resolution (∼20 meV) and high luminosity (peak output current up to 5 nA). Emphasis is placed on practical hints, limiting factors, and simple criteria to optimize the design of the electron selector, the electron optics, the power supplies, and the current detection. The proposed solutions lead to a very convenient, easy to operate, and low-cost apparatus. Also the way of obtaining optimal performances is discussed. A new and simple method to measure the energy resolution of an electron spectrometer is described in detail. The problem of energy calibration is considered and some experimental results, obtained on gallium arsenide, are shown for illustration.
