Theoretical study of a high-efficiency GaP–Si heterojunction betavoltaic cell compared with metal–Si Schottky barrier betavoltaic cell
In this work, energy converters, which contain a GaP–Si heterojunction and Si-based Schottky barrier diodes with Al, Ti, Ag, and W, are used to convert 2 μm-thick 63Ni radioactive source energy into electrical energy. First, energy deposition distributions of the 63Ni radioactive source in these con...
