How to make scientific notation appear next to each tick/label on axes instead of the top?

Hi everyone,

I am having the following graph where scientific notation appears on the top. How can I make the notation to appear next to each axis tick/value?

Thanks in advance.

x = linspace(1e-6, 2e-6, 21);
plot(x)
h = gca;
h.YTickLabel = string(x*1e6)+"\times10^{-6}";

@Chunru Thank you so much. What does the h= gca does? because I have for instance Mol = Figure() to start my figure with. Should I use Mol.YTickLabel or should I use the h = gca?

gca is to get the curent axes handle. "doc gca" for more info.

@Chunru thank you so much. Just one last question, what if it starts with 0? It appears like 0 x 10^-6. How can I just make it appear as 0?

All these are "manual" and not "auto":

x = linspace(1e-6, 2e-6, 21);
plot(x)
h = gca;
h.YTickLabel = string(x*1e6)+"\times10^{-6}";
h.YTickLabel{1} ="0";  % not the correct value; for demo only
