White radiation upon breakdown of an nSi-- pC sub(diamond) heterojunction and upon limiting efficiency of a silicon solar element

White radiation was registered upon breakdown of nSi-- pC sub(diamond) heterojunction resulting from collision ionization and recombination of electron-hole pairs without thermalization of an excess energy of electrons. The probabilities of collision ionization and radiation transitions of photoelec...

Description
Summary:White radiation was registered upon breakdown of nSi-- pC sub(diamond) heterojunction resulting from collision ionization and recombination of electron-hole pairs without thermalization of an excess energy of electrons. The probabilities of collision ionization and radiation transitions of photoelectrons in the region of a conduction band generated by photons with energy above 2E sub(g) and of enhancement of the limiting efficiency of a silicon solar element are discussed.
