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 elements of fourth group (IV-A) of the periodic table have been doped in Cu Tl Ba Ca Cu M O (M=Si, Ge, Sn, and y=0, 1) samples to explore any possible electron-phonon interaction mechanism in oxide high temperature superconductors. We have observed that doped atoms with masses significantly different from that of Cu atom suppress the superconducting properties of the final compound. The postannealing experiments in flowing oxygen were also carried out to optimize the carriers density in the unit cell. After postannealing in oxygen the superconducting properties of all the samples are improved, which is most likely due to the optimization of carriers density in the material. It is observed from Fourier transform infrared absorption measurements that the CuO planar mode is hardened with the doping of Si, whereas, it is softened with the incorporation of Ge and Sn in the unit cell. The apical oxygen modes are softened with Si doping but these modes are hardened with the incorporation of Ge and Sn. It is most likely that the density of phonons is significantly altered due to increased anharmonic oscillations produced by heavier and lighter atoms in MO / CuO (i.e., M=Sn,Si) planes, which suppress the phonon population from a desired level and hence the superconductivity. The shift in oxygen phonon modes after postannealing is most probably linked to the change in oxidation state of thallium. © 2010 American Institute of Physics.
