Temperature effects on an InGaP (GaInP) 55Fe X-ray photovoltaic cell
Abstract This paper investigates the effects of temperature on an InGaP (GaInP) 55Fe X-ray photovoltaic cell prototype for a radioisotope microbattery (also called a nuclear microbattery). An In0.5Ga0.5P p-i-n (5 μm i-layer) mesa photodiode was illuminated by a standard 206 MBq 55Fe radioisotope X-r...
