- Abstract.
Owing to the high radiation damage resistance and the physical properties typical of a wide band-gap semiconductor, diamond represents the appropriate material for applications involving the use of intense beams of high-energy (hv) radiation and electrons.
At present we are studying the feasibility of energy active devices for conversion of high energy radiation into electrical power making use of the know-how developed in the production of energy passive devices (detectors, dosimeters, electron multipliers) and quantifying the possible total conversion efficiency. Radiation energy conversion can be provided by two types of diamond-based devices: photovoltaic devices (Schottky junction or optimistically p-n junction) and secondary electron emission devices. We are designing and optimizing vacuum photoemission devices, irradiated by x-ray and electron beams, to probe the maximum obtainable energy conversion efficiency.
Recently it was demonstrated the feasibility of CVD diamond converters based on secondary-electron-emission effect, potentially able to exploit small-penetration-depth-radiation energy emitted by radioisotopes [1]. The activity is at present focused on the improvement of CVD diamond physical properties to discover the appropriate recipe (film thickness, bulk electric resistivity and grain electronic quality) that optimizes the converter performance.
