研究目的
Investigating the performance degradation of the germanium bottom cell of GaInP/GaAs/Ge triple-junction solar cells under 1 MeV electron irradiation using temperature-dependent photoluminescence measurements.
研究成果
The study identified intrinsic and radiation-induced defects in the Ge bottom cell, with defects at Ec (cid:1) 0.37 eV and Ec (cid:1) 0.12 eV being the main causes of performance degradation. The findings contribute to understanding the degradation mechanisms in triple-junction solar cells under electron irradiation.
研究不足
The study focuses on the effects of 1 MeV electron irradiation and may not cover other types of radiation or higher energy levels. The analysis is limited to the temperature range of 10–300 K.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Temperature-dependent photoluminescence measurements were conducted on unirradiated and irradiated Ge bottom cells to analyze the effects of electron irradiation.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
GaInP/GaAs/Ge triple-junction solar cells with specific doping levels were used.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A 1064 nm infrared solid-state laser, grating monochromator, PbS photodetector, lock-in amplifier, closed-cycle cryogenic refrigerator (ARS-4HW), and digital thermometer controller (Lake Shore, 355 Temperature controller).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
PL spectra were measured from 10 to 300 K, with the temperature controlled in steps of 10 K.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The PL intensity data were analyzed to identify thermal quenching behaviors and defect levels.
