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
This article presents the use of a quantitative analysis technique to describe time-resolved acoustic spectroscopy (high frequency laser based ultrasound) measurements of atomic diffusion on nanometer length scales occurring at the interface between sputter-deposited tungsten and niobium films. The extent of diffusion at the tungsten-niobium interface is determined by comparing experimental, simulated, and theoretical transfer functions between acoustic arrivals. The experimental and simulated transfer functions use the spectral content of successive reflected acoustic waves and the theoretical transfer function is based on the transfer matrix of an equivalent stratified interface region. This combination of theoretical, simulated, and experimental analyses makes it possible to separate signals with distinct differences between the as-deposited interface and those interfaces diffused to an experimentally determined 0.8-nm and 1.4-nm extent. Comparison of predicted and measured diffusion depths for this diffusion couple indicates that bulk diffusivities are not appropriate for describing nanometer scale interface diffusion.
