Ab initio electronic stopping power for protons in Ga0.5In0.5P/GaAs/Ge triple-junction solar cells for space applications

Motivated by the radiation damage of solar panels in space, firstly, the results of Monte Carlo particle transport simulations are presented for proton impact on triple-junction Ga0.5In0.5P/GaAs/Ge solar cells, showing the proton projectile penetration in the cells as a function of energy. It is fol...
