Notes:
Results are presented for 1 MeV electron-irradiated, two terminal, monolithic InP/Ga0.47In0.53As tandem solar cells. These highly efficient prototype cells show radiation resistance that is comparable to single junction InP cells. A current mismatch between the subcells does not occur until high fluence levels, that is, near 3×1015 e−/cm2. This value for the onset of current mismatch and the measured remaining absolute efficiency of 9.4% at 1×1016 e−/cm2 are excellent results reported for a tandem cell designed for space applications. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
