A study of Proton Radiation Effects on a Silicon Based Solar Cell

In this study, the changes in performance parameters of silicon photovoltaic cells were investigated before and after irradiation. For aim, current-voltage power-voltage characteristics structures obtained The electrical determined using characteristics. High energetic (24.5 MeV) proton beam was used as radiation source. addition, radiation-induced displacement damages SRIM/TRIM simulations, effect these on cell investigated. This which depends hardness a result irradiation with protons, important. Because damage caused properties device. behavior attributed to defects generated by On other hand, it seen that can be tool for controlling material properties.
