Abstract

See full text

A solid-state nuclear energy conversion system includes a crystalline insulator bombarded with radiation to create electron-hole pairs. A voltage source provides a potential bias across the crystalline insulator, causing electrons and holes to collect at opposing ends. A diode is incorporated in a circuit including the crystalline insulator, voltage source, and a load, inhibiting current flow from the voltage source to the load. Thus, a radiation-driven current flows to the load.
