Modeling the effect of 1 MeV electron irradiation on the performance of n(+)-p-p(+) silicon space solar cells

Energetic particles such as electrons and protons induce severe degradation on the performance of solar cells used to power satellites and space vehicles. This degradation is usually attributed to lattice damage in the active region of the solar cell. One of the phenomena observed in silicon solar c...
