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
We study a recently introduced Hilbert space transformation from a nonorthogonal basis to an orthogonal basis, with an emphasis on the physical interpretation of the new Hilbert space. We find that the new Hilbert space may be interpreted as an orthogonal basis in the same physical space, wherein the basis overlap is formally transferred to the hopping matrix elements in the orthogonal system. The result is a standard tight-binding system in an orthogonal basis, with long-range hopping. The procedure is illustrated using an infinite one-dimensional hopping system with nearest-neighbor overlap. We also use the formal procedure to solve for the transmission characteristics of an impurity site coupled with semi-infinite leads, as an example of the interpretive power of the ordinary tight-binding formalism in the case of transport in the presence of basis-overlap effects: the antiresonances are produced, in the orthogonal space, by the presence of second-nearest-neighbor hopping. ©2005 The American Physical Society.
