A hydrodynamic approach based on concentration, velocity and energy conservation equations is developed and used for the simulation of the electron transport in bulk HgCdTe. Both transient and steady-state regimes are simulated using input parameters calculated with a Monte Carlo simulator. The...

Solar cells exposed to irradiation undergo severe degradation in their performance due to induced structural defects. To predict this effect, the current–voltage characteristics under AM0 illumination for a constant dose of electron irradiation are numerically calculated. From these...

In this paper numerical simulation has been used to predict the effect of the thickness and aluminium (Al) mole fraction of an AlGaAs layer, used as a window for a p+–n–n+ GaAs solar cell under AM0 illumination and exposed to 1MeV electron irradiation. Such solar cells are used in satellites...
