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
Thin PbTe films (thickness 500-600 Å), deposited on SrTiO , have been investigated by electric field effect (EFE). The high resistivity of such thin films warrants a high sensitivity of the EFE method. The SrTiO substrate serves as the dielectric layer in the gate-dielectric-PbTe structure. Due to the large dielectric constant of SrTiO, particularly at low temperatures, the electric displacement D in the film reaches the high value of ∼10 V/cm, and the EFE introduced charge into the PbTe film amounts to ∼8 μcm. The high D permits to measure the EFE resistance and Hall constant over a wide region of D, revealing the characteristic features of their D dependence. An appropriate theoretical model has been formulated, showing that, for such films, one can measure the dependence of the Fermi level on D. In fact, we demonstrate that by shifting the Fermi level across the gap by varying D, the density of states of the in-gap states can be mapped out. Our results show that the PbTe layers studied possess a mobility gap exceeding the gap of bulk PbTe. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.
