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 relation between stress evolution and surface morphology during deposition of sputtered films is examined by combining kinetic Monte Carlo simulations and stress measurements. We find that the surface morphology is susceptible to an instability, which transforms from layer-by-layer growth to the formation of pillarlike columns. The gaps between these columns prevent complete densification and can lead to a network of pores in the layer. We propose that the formation of this structure changes the stress in the growing layers from compressive to tensile. © 2009 American Institute of Physics.
