Transmission Effects on Plastic Films Irradiated with Ultraviolet Light, Electrons, and Protons.

Abstract

Several plastic films, suitable as covers for thin-film CdS solar cells, were irradiated by ultraviolet light in vacuum. The films were bombarded by 1-MeV electrons at fluences up to 1 x 10 to the 17th power electrons/cm2, and one of the films was bombarded by 800-keV protons at fluences up to 1 x 10 to the 14th power protons/cm2. The effect of these environments on the transmission of the plastics in the wavelength range 0.350 to 1.200 microns was measured. The most promising cover material was Teflon-FEP. (AN)
