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
The advent of telecommunication over a century ago spurred an interest among scientists in surface waves. As early as 1907, while researching wireless telegraphy, Jonathan Zenneck analyzed the propagation of electromagnetic waves over extended metal surfaces. Fifty years later, the possibility that metals support surface waves was revisited in the context of elementary excitations in solids. Rufus Ritchie predicted that fast-moving charged particles could excite surface waves in metal foils in addition to bulk plasma oscillations. That was soon confirmed by experiments, and the term surface plasmon (SP) was born (see box 1). At the time, probably few would have expected SPs to generate the tremendous interest that they do today, all the way from quantum optics and data storage to spectroscopy and medicine.
