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
We have calculated the rate of light emission from a scanning tunneling microscope with an Ir tip probing a silver film. We find a considerable enhancement of the rate of spontaneous light emission compared with, for example, inverse-photoemission experiments. This enhancement is the result of an amplification of the electromagnetic field in the area below the microscope tip due to a localized interface plasmon. One can estimate that one out of 104 tunneling electrons will emit a photon. We also find that the experimentally observed maximum in the light emission as a function of bias voltage is directly related to the detailed behavior of tip-sample separation versus bias voltage. © 1990 The American Physical Society.
