Design and simulation of high conversion efficiency betavoltaic battery based on a stacked multilayer structure

This paper presents the design and simulation of a high conversion efficiency betavoltaic battery composed of multiple, alternately stacked layers of silicon p-n junction converters and 63Ni isotope sources. Self-absorption of β particles within sources of different thicknesses and β particle energy...
