The betavoltaic effect is characterized by multiple random scatterings and high energy density exchange. The conversion of beta-particles’ energy to electric current is a sophisticated process. A GEANT4-based code is used to model the energy-loss mechanisms of emitted electrons from 63Ni radioisotope, considering the physics behind these losses (such as Coulomb scattering, nuclear stopping, and Bethe-Bloch theory) while taking into account self-absorption and backscattering factors. The study indicates the existence of a significant non-ionizing energy-loss of penetrating beta-particles that may stimulate remarkable local heating in the absorbing structure, which results in a degradation in the performance of betavoltaic batteries using 63Ni as nuclear fuel.
期刊介绍：
Section B of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research covers all aspects of the interaction of energetic beams with atoms, molecules and aggregate forms of matter. This includes ion beam analysis and ion beam modification of materials as well as basic data of importance for these studies. Topics of general interest include: atomic collisions in solids, particle channelling, all aspects of collision cascades, the modification of materials by energetic beams, ion implantation, irradiation - induced changes in materials, the physics and chemistry of beam interactions and the analysis of materials by all forms of energetic radiation. Modification by ion, laser and electron beams for the study of electronic materials, metals, ceramics, insulators, polymers and other important and new materials systems are included. Related studies, such as the application of ion beam analysis to biological, archaeological and geological samples as well as applications to solve problems in planetary science are also welcome. Energetic beams of interest include atomic and molecular ions, neutrons, positrons and muons, plasmas directed at surfaces, electron and photon beams, including laser treated surfaces and studies of solids by photon radiation from rotating anodes, synchrotrons, etc. In addition, the interaction between various forms of radiation and radiation-induced deposition processes are relevant.
