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
Magnesium aluminate spinel, MgAlO, is a structurally and compositionally interesting crystal since it can exhibit significant deviations from the stoichiometric composition because of the ability of the lattice to tolerate substantial cation disorder. We show that MgAlO spinels with excess AlO non-stoichiometry can accommodate a large amount of positively charged oxygen vacancies (F centers) when they are heated under vacuum at ∼1900°C using a high-frequency induction heating unit with a graphite crucible. Thus the obtained spinels show a bluish white photoluminescence (PL) with a PL quantum yield of ∼20, which is attributed to excitation and recombination processes of the F center. The PL signal is characterized by a broad spectral band peaking at ∼2.7 eV (∼460 nm) and decays in a nonexponential manner on the time scale of several tens of microseconds. The F center is supposed to interact with nearby positively and negatively charged defects derived from cation disorder in the spinel structure, forming clusters of various defect centers. © 2012 American Institute of Physics.
