Correlation between Displacement Damage Dose and Proton Irradiation Effects on GaInP/GaAs/Ge Space Solar Cells

The irradiation effects of 0.28-2.80 MeV protons on GalnP/GaAs/Ge solar cells have been analysed, and then correlated with the displacement damage dose. The results of I-V and spectral response measurements, combined with the SRIM-derived vacancies produced rates, show that the degradation of the solar cells is largely determined by the displacement damage of the GaAs sub-cell. Thus the SRIM-derived NIEL values for protons in the GaAs sub-cell are used to calculate the displacement damage dose. It is shown that the irradiation effects of the solar cells caused by protons at different energies are correlated well with the aid of displacement damage dose.     

Displacement damage analysis and modified electrical equivalent circuit for electron and photon-irradiated silicon solar cells

Solar modules and arrays are the conventional energy resources of space satellites. Outside the earth's atmosphere, solar panels experience abnormal radiation environments and because of incident particles, photovoltaic (PV) parameters degrade. This article tries to analyze the electrical performance of electron and photon-irradiated mono-crystalline silicon (mono-Si) solar cells. PV cells are irradiated by mono-energetic electrons and poly-energetic photons and immediately characterized after the irradiation. The mean degradation of the maximum power (P_max) of silicon solar cells is presented and correlated using the displacement damage dose (D_d) methodology. This method simplifies evaluation of cell performance in space radiation environments and produces a single characteristic curve for P_max degradation. Furthermore, complete analysis of the results revealed that the open-circuit voltage (V_oc) and the filling factor of mono-Si cells did not significantly change during the irradiation and were independent of the radiation type and fluence. Moreover, a new technique is developed that adapts the irradiation-induced effects in a single-cell equivalent electrical circuit and adjusts its elements. The “modified circuit” is capable of modeling the “radiation damage” in the electrical behavior of mono-Si solar cells and simplifies the designing of the compensation circuits.

Radiation Damage Analysis of Individual Subcells for GaInP/GaAs/Ge Solar Cells Using Photoluminescence Measurements

The radiation damage of three individual subcells for GaInP/GaAs/Ge triple-junction solar cells irradiated with electrons and protons is investigated using photoluminescence(PL) measurements. The PL spectra of each subcell are obtained using different excitation lasers. The PL intensity has a fast degradation after irradiation,and decreases as the displacement damage dose increases. Furthermore, the normalized PL intensity varying with the displacement damage dose is analyzed in detail, and then the lifetime damage coefficients of the recombination centers for GaInP top-cell, GaAs mid-cell and Ge bottom-cell of the triple-junction solar cells are determined from the PL radiative efficiency.     

Temperature and 8 MeV electron irradiation effects on GaAs solar cells

GaAs solar cells hold the record for the highest single band-gap cell efficiency. Successful application of these cells in advanced space-borne systems demand characterization of cell properties like dark current under different ambient conditions and the stability of the cells against particle irradiation in space. In this paper, the results of the studies carried out on the effect of 8 MeV electron irradiation on the electrical properties of GaAs solar cells are presented. The I–V (current-voltage) characteristics of the cells under dark and AM1.5 illumination condition are studied and 8 MeV electron irradiation was carried out on the cells where they were exposed to graded doses of electrons from 1 to 100 kGy. The devices were also characterized using capacitance measurements at various frequencies before and after irradiation. The effect of electron irradiation on the solar cell parameters was studied. It is found that only small changes were observed in the GaAs solar cell parameters up to an electron dose of 100 kGy, exhibiting good tolerance for electrons of 8 MeV energy.
