Solar Cell Radiation Response near the Interface of Different Atomic Number Materials
Abstract
The response of Co-60 irradiated N/P silicon solar cells was measured as a function of the atomic number of the medium adjacent to the cell and the direction of the gamma ray beam. The interpositioning of various thicknesses of aluminum between the adjacent material and the cell had the effect of moving the cell to various locations in an approximate monoatomic numbered medium. With this technique, the solar cell response was determined at various distances from the interface for gold and beryllium. Ionization chamber data were used to estimate the influence of various base contact materials.
