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
Exploiting first-principles simulations and x-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) in high magnetic fields, we investigated the magnetic properties of thin films of zirconia doped with Fe impurities. In our Zr1-xFexO2-y samples, grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD), the Fe dopants are uniformly distributed, ranging from diluted (x≃2-3%) up to high (x≃25%) atomic concentration. By x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD), we carefully analyzed, for samples having different Fe concentration, the magnetic moments as a function of temperature, in the range from 5 K up to 150 K, studying the best dopant concentration range maximizing the magnetic signal. Surprisingly, the iron magnetic moment measured for diluted concentrations degrades as the concentration of magnetic dopant increases. On the basis of ab initio simulations, we propose that the microscopic mechanisms responsible for the peculiar magnetic properties of this compound can be explained by oxygen-mediated superexchange mechanism between the Fe dopants producing, at high dopant concentration, an antiferromagnetic coupling between two Fe atoms. We identify and discuss the role of O vacancies to control such microscopic mechanisms.
