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
Ionic solvation in a polar solvent is modeled by a central charge surrounded by dipolar molecules posted on two-dimensional distorted lattice sites with simple rotational dynamics. Density of states is calculated by applying the Wang-Landau algorithm to both the energy and polarization states. The free energy landscapes of solvent molecules as a function of polarization are depicted to explore the competition between the thermal fluctuation and solvation energy. Without a central charge, for temperatures higher than the energy scale of the dipole-dipole interactions, the energy landscape for the small polarization region exhibits a parabolic shape as predicted by Marcus [Rev. Mod. Phys. 65, 599 (1993)] for electron transfer reaction, while there is an additional quartic contribution to the landscape for the large polarization region. When the temperature drops, the simulated free energy landscapes are no longer smooth due to the presence of multiple local minima arising from the frustrated interaction among the dipoles. The parabolic contribution becomes negligible and the energy landscape becomes quartic in shape. For a strong central charge, the energy landscape exhibits an asymmetric profile due to the contributions of linear and cubic terms that arise from the charge-dipole interactions. © 2006 American Institute of Physics.
