In this study, structural optimization and trap effect analysis of a 4H-SiC–based p–i–n betavoltaic (BV) cell were performed using Silvaco ATLAS TCAD (version 5.30.0.R) simulations combined with an electron-beam (e-beam) irradiation...
In this work, Gallium Nitride (GaN)-based p-i-n diodes were designed using a computer aided design (TCAD) simulator for realizing a betavoltaic (BV) cell with a high output power density (Pout). The short-circuit current density (JSC) and open-circui...
The approaches for predicting output parameters of betavoltaic batteries are reviewed. The need to develop a strategy for predicting these parameters with sufficient accuracy for the optimization of betavoltaic cell design without using the simple tr...
The growing demand for reliable micropower sources in extreme environments has accelerated the development of betavoltaic cells (BV cells) with high energy conversion efficiency and superior radiation resistance. This study demonstrates an advanced B...
Reduction in size and power consumption of consumer electronics has opened up many opportunities for low power wireless sensor networks. One of the major challenges is in supporting battery operated devices as the number of nodes in a network grows....
An idealized design of a silicon betavoltaic battery with a tritium source is considered, in which a thin layer of tritiated silicon is sandwiched between two intrinsic silicon slabs of equal width, and the excess charge carriers are collected by thi...
