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
ZnO nanorod arrays with sharp tips were synthesized via chemical vapor deposition and utilized as the anode for gas ionization sensor. The effects of metal (Mn, NiFe, and Au) decoration and magnetic field on the electrical breakdown voltage were studied. Compared with the bare ZnO nanorod, metal decorated ZnO nanorod arrays in the magnetic field can effectively reduce the breakdown voltage for the air to 20 V. The possible mechanism is that metal decoration produces small size protuberance on the surface of ZnO nanorods and then enhances the electrical field near the tips. The magnetic field exerts action on the motion of the electron and therefore increases electron impact ionization efficiency and second electron emission efficiency.
