Chemical method of creation of effective Ni63 radiation source for betavoltaic converters

Abstract

The article highlights the results of studying the parameters of nickel film chemical deposition on base aluminium foil, the purpose of which is to create an effective source of beta radiation Ni63 source for a betavoltaic converter. To increase the specific area of the source, it is proposed to micro-corrugate the base by rolling and laser fusion. Recommendations on the practical implementation of the source manufacturing are given.
