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
Semiconducting nanocrystals have been the subject of intense research due to the ability to modulate the electronic and magnetic properties by controlling the size of the crystal, introducing dopants, and surface modification. While relatively simple models such as a particle in a sphere can work well to describe moderately sized quantum dots, this approximation becomes less accurate for very small nanocrystals that are strongly confined. In this work, we report all-electron, relativistic ab initio electronic structure calculations for a series of ZnO quantum dots in order to study the modulation of the Rashba effect. The impact and magnitude of spin-orbit coupling and crystalline anisotropy on the fine structure of the band-edge excitonic manifold are discussed.
