Customise axis ticks and ticks labels with exponential notation

How can I customise both axes to get this figure, with this exponential notation ?

See <Include Superscript and Subscript in Axis Labels> example at <xlabel>

Moral: Read doc including looking at examples...

thanks @dpb! I found a solution for my case:

xticks([10^0 10^(0.5) 10^1 10^(1.5) 10^2 10^(2.5)])
xticklabels({'10^0','10^{0.5}','10^1','10^{1.5}','10^2','10^{2.5}'})

yticks([10^(2.9),10^(3),10^(3.1),10^(3.2)])
yticklabels({'10^{2.9}','10^{3}','10^{3.1}','10^{3.2}'})

set(gca, 'XScale', 'log','YScale', 'log')

You can make things a little less specific and typing of duplicated stuff using MATLAB array syntax --

p=[0:0.5:2.5];          % the desired powers
xtk=10.^p;              % evaluate for ticks, limits
xlim([xtk(1) xtk(end)]) % set limits to match
xticks(xtk)             % and the desired tick locations
xticklabels(compose('10^{%g}',p))   % and put on the annotation

This lets you set any arbitrary set of exponents in the p array; the rest then follows automagically...

I like the "automagically" term ;-)

...thanks a lot @dpb, I will use your piece of code, better than what I wrote :-)
