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
(CrMoNbTaZr)N coatings were deposited on Si (100) by magnetron sputtering under various N/(Ar+N) flow ratios. An X-ray diffractometer, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy were used to characterize the crystallinity and microstructure of the films. The elemental composition was characterized by energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The hardness and friction coefficient were respectively determined by nanoindentation and nanoscratch. The sheet resistance was studied using a four-point probe. The results suggest that the crystallinity is strongly influenced by the nitrogen content in the films. The chemical stoichiometry of nitride determines the evolutions of the microstructure, mechanical properties and resistivity. Correlations between the microstructure and the properties of the (CrMoNbTaZr)N films were studied.
