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 crystalline structure of metal-oxide-based magnetic tunnel junctions patterned by optical lithography was resolved locally using a microfocused x-ray spot. We evidence several micron-sized lithography-induced distortion effects on the crystalline structure of the layers near the edges of the junction. The distortions translate into tilts (up to 1°) of the crystalline planes in the vicinity of the edges and propagate toward the center of the junction. They are attributed to the release of the elastic strain in the layers during the lithographical process. For the smallest junctions, size effects limiting the amplitude of the tilt are also evidenced. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.
