Abstract
In this paper, we present simulations of the concentration of electron-hole pairs generated from each point in solid targets under Ni-63 source bombardment of a CdS/PbS-based betavoltaic cell. This model is an accurate representation of the electronic interaction has been reported. We can obtain the distribution of the electron-hole pairs generated in the CdS/PbS junction as a function of the depth by Monte Carlo simulation, this distribution allowed us to find the concentrations of excess minority carriers as a function of the thickness, which can be function and injection into the continuity equations to determine the diffusion current and then the selected petavoltage properties. The model was tested for the Ni-63 CdS/PbS structure, with energy of 17 keV.
期刊介绍:
Chalcogenide Letters (CHL) has the aim to publish rapidly papers in chalcogenide field of research and
appears with twelve issues per year. The journal is open to letters, short communications and breakings news
inserted as Short Notes, in the field of chalcogenide materials either amorphous or crystalline. Short papers in
structure, properties and applications, as well as those covering special properties in nano-structured
chalcogenides are admitted.
