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
Pulsed laser ablation of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) in high vacuum was investigated by using different laser beams. A Nd:Yag laser, working at fundamental (1064nm) and second harmonics (532nm) with 9ns pulse duration and 800mJ maximum pulse energy was used at INFN-LNS of Catania. Two excimer UV lasers working at 308nm (XeCl) and 248nm (KrF) with 20ns pulse width and 600 mJ maximum pulse energy was used at INFN-LEAS of Lecce. The laser ablation effects on the PMMA were investigated by using similar experimental set-ups and fluences ranging between 2 and 20 J/cm2. A 200 amu mass quadrupole spectrometer was employed to detect 'on line' the atom and molecular species emitted in vacuum by the laser ablation process. The ablation yield increases with the laser wavelength, demonstrating that IR radiation induces photothermal effects. The molecular fragmentation increases with the photon energy, demonstrating that photochemical effects become predominant for UV radiation. An investigation about the possible laser ablation mechanisms of PMMA, depending on the laser parameters, will be presented and discussed.
