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
The threshold energies of electrons and holes to generate electron-hole pairs, and energetic holes and electrons, by the interband impact and Auger mechanisms are computed analytically from energy and momentum conservation and found to be nearly equal to the minimum values based on energy conservation alone as was recognized by Kane as due to the intervalley impact generation pathway of electron-hole pairs. Experimental thresholds and energy dependency of the carrier generation efficiencies appear to support the analytic theory. The experimental data are obtained using the nearly monoenergetic primary electrons from Fowler-Nordheim tunneling through a thin gate oxide to generate secondary electron-hole pairs in a crystalline silicon substrate, or secondary hot holes in the polysilicon gate or thin crystalline silicon surface layer of p- and n-type channel silicon-gate/silicon-oxide/silicon field-effect transistors. © 1995 The American Physical Society.
