DOI: 10.1109/tns.2017.2761544
Abstract: The implications of ionizing radiation-induced coverglass darkening on the current-limiting characteristics of presently flown multijunction (MJ) solar cells are discussed. An interesting relationship between displacement damage and ionizing radiation exists where ionizing damage to the… read more here.
