OSTI ID:6972584
Aluminum gallium arsenide solar cells were irradiated with 1.0 and 1.4 MeV electrons, and with 0.9 and 3.0 MeV protons to determine radiation sensitivity. Electron fluences ranged from 1 x 10 to the 14th power to 3 x 10 to the 16 power electrons, 1 sq cm, and proton fluences from 5 x 10 to the 10 power to 2.7 x 10 to the 12th power/sqcm. A solar simulator and a tungsten lamp were used to evaluate changes in the current-voltage characteristics curves. In most cases, AlGaAs solar cells showed a greater resistance to radiation than silicon cells.
