Temperature effects on gallium arsenide Ni betavoltaic cell
نویسندگان
چکیده
A GaAs Ni radioisotope betavoltaic cell is reported over the temperature range 70 °C to −20 °C. The temperature effects on the key cell parameters were investigated. The saturation current decreased with decreased temperature; whilst the open circuit voltage, the short circuit current, the maximum power and the internal conversion efficiency values decreased with increased temperature. A maximum output power and an internal conversion efficiency of 1.8 pW (corresponding to 0.3 μW/Ci) and 7% were observed at −20 °C,

متن کاملEffects of low-power Gallium Aluminum Arsenide Laser irradiation on the mast cells of skin wounds in rats
Background and aim: Low-power lasers relief pain in some musculoskeletal disorders and accelerate wound healing process. However, there are few reports on effects of low-power lasers on mast cells. In this study the effects of low-power gallium aluminium arsenide laser (Ga.Al.As.laser) radiation on number and degranulation of mast cells of open skin wound bed of rats were studied using qu...
متن کاملTemperature dependence of an AlInP 63Ni betavoltaic cell
In this paper the performance of an Al0.52In0.48P Ni radioisotope cell is reported over the temperature range -20 °C to 140 °C. A 400 μm diameter p-i-n (2 μm i-layer) Al0.52In0.48P mesa photodiode was used as conversion device in a novel betavoltaic cell. Dark current measurements on the Al0.52In0.48P detector showed that the saturation current increased increasing the temperature, while the id...
متن کاملComparison of the current of UV ray radiation on PIN Silicon photodiode and Gallium Arsenide
The high-energy UV ray radiation on PIN Silicon photodiodes reduces the optimal parameters of these photodiodes. In this paper, by representing a model, we compare the effect of UV dose on the bright current in these two types of photodiodes and confirm the analytic relationships in order to simulate a model with the help of the Silvaco- Atlas software. In this model, Silicon photodiodes and Ga...
