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 Opinion article discusses the fundamental role of the near-field photon momentum in processes of light scattering from nanometer-sized clusters including an intriguing case of self-assembled nanostructures that form a long-range translational order but local disorder. Systems exhibiting the so-called crystal-liquid duality enable greatly enhanced light-matter interactions due to the electron-photon momentum matching in the visible wavelength range. This work takes a historical perspective on the exploration of this phenomenon that has been somewhat overlooked by the scientific community and discusses recent advances in the fields of nonlocal photonics and optoelectronics.
