Scientific notation at y-axis with yticks/yticklabels

I want to change the notation of the y-axis using the commands "yticks" and

"yticklabels". But here I would like to use the scientific notation.

Is this changeable?

from the looks of it the desired state is also plotting in a log10. you can change the current axis by

set(gca,'yscale','log')

or if you only desire to have 10^X exponent style axis ticks labeling then you can

y = rand(10,1);
figure(1),plot(y)
ax = gca;
ax.YAxis.Exponent = 2

ax = 
  Axes with properties:

             XLim: [0 10]
             YLim: [0 1]
           XScale: 'linear'
           YScale: 'linear'
    GridLineStyle: '-'
         Position: [0.1300 0.1100 0.7750 0.8150]
            Units: 'normalized'
