Electrical Capabilities of Silicon Diode on Tritium-titanium Source Irradiating

Some tritium-titanium sources with different amount of titanium and tritium were prepared.The silicon semiconductor junction devices were irradiated by the tritium-titanium sources and their electrical output data were measured and analyzed.The results showed that electrical current could be produced as the junction devices irradiated by these tritium-titanium sources,but the Isc and amount of tritium weren't direct proportion because of the absorbability of titanium to β ray of tritium.These results were useful to the design,development and use of tritium powered betavoltaic battery.
