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
Magneto-optical (MO) composites with excellent Faraday rotation (FR) response were fabricated using iron platinum (FePt) nanoparticles (NPs) and polystyrene-block-poly (2-vinyl pyridine) (PS-b-P2VP) block copolymers (BCPs). Gallic acid functionalized FePt NPs with average core diameters (dcore) of 1.9, 4.9, 5.7 and 9.3 nm have been selectively incorporated into a P2VP domain through hydrogen bonding interactions. The use of copolymer templates to selectively arrange the magnetic NPs guaranteed high MO performance with little trade-off in terms of scattering loss, providing a simple strategy to prepare functional materials for MO applications. As a result, Verdet constants of a 10 wt % loaded 4.9 nm FePt NP composite reached absolute magnitudes as high as ~-6 × 10 °/T-m at 845 nm, as determined by FR measurements at room temperature. At the same time, the MO figure-of-merit was as large as -25 °/T in these composites, indicating both excellent MO performance and transparency. The dependence of the nanocomposite FR properties on particle diameter, loading (from 0.1 wt % to 10 wt %) and composite nanostructure were systematically investigated at four infrared wavelengths (845, 980, 1310 and 1550 nm).
