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
Five kinds of nanowires and a nanochain that is embedded in a carbon nanotube have been optimized by density function theory, and the electronic transport properties through these nanowires and nanochain are studied. Our results indicate that the transmission spectra exhibit size-dependent oscillations. We observe and study the nonlinear contribution to the I-V characteristic (current-voltage) curves that is due to the quantum size effect. The I-V curve of the single chain is different from that when the chain is embedded in a carbon nanotube. The results provide valuable information on the correlation between the transport properties of nanowires and their microstructures. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.
