Abstract:SECONDARY-EMISSION RADIOISOTOPIC CURRENT SOURCE V. M. Balebanov, S. S. Moiseev, V. L Karas', I. V. Karas', S. I. Kononenko, V. I. Kolesnik, and V. I. Muratov UDC 533.9Autonomous sources of electrical power are required for solving many scientific and technical problems. The most commonly used sources are chemical cells, employing chemical reactions as the primary source of energy. Historically, such cells were the first ones. Today they are the best-developed, but they have a negligible specific energy capacit… Show more

“…In the material with atomic charge number Z and atom density N , the distribution on energy E of electrons knocked out by the single fast ion from an atom (jer the unit length of the ion path) is described by the following 2Ne/axaE{41tNtZte4Zeff2/mevç(E+J)2 }g(E), (1) where Zeff S the effective charge number of fast ion, vis its velocity, J -is the ionization potential of target atoms. For the suprathermal electron (SE), created with initial energy E at the depth z from the film surface, the probability to arrive at film surface where its energy ( due to the particle slowing down ) will be equal is proportional (see, e.g.…”
It is described the simple practical model of express-estimates of the ion-electron emission (lEE) induced by the fast ion fluxes in the emitter of radioisotope source of current. Under calculations performed it is taken into account the analytical approximations for medium stopping power and electrons inelastic mean free path. the source of suprathennal electrons (SE) generation and the probabilities of SE arriving at the film surface and their passage through surface potential bamer. The model developed may be used for computer simulations of processes in solid-state plasma of emitter films in the radioisotope battery.

“…Some experimental data on the emission current from metals irradiated by lasers can be reasonably explained by the mechanism for the formation of NE distributions [4][5][6][7][8]. It was shown [3,6,8] that, for a semiconductor plasma in the energy range E −E F > E F (where E F is the Fermi energy) a power-like distribution with a non-zero flux of energy or particles in momentum space can be established. This NE distribution function is formed both due to collisions with electrons whose energy is in the range E−E F > E F and background (equilibrium) electrons.…”

The formation of a non-equilibrium steady-state distribution function of particles with the power law interaction potentials U = α/r s , where 1 β < 4, is studied numerically. Consideration is based on the one-dimensional nonlinear kinetic equation of a Landau-Fokker-Planck type in the presence of particle (energy) sources. Non-equilibrium quasi steady-state local distributions exist inside the momentum interval between the energy (particle) source and the bulk (or sink) of the particle distribution and have the form of gradually decreasing functions. Numerical calculations based on the completely conservative difference schemes are accompanied by the analytical consideration and comparison with the experimental results is given. Obtained results can be useful in connection with the development of high-power particle and energy sources and for the prediction of the semiconductors behavior with an intrinsic or extrinsic conductivity under the action of particle fluxes or electromagnetic radiation.
