There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Title: A Stacked Betavoltaic Battery using a Lateral-growth-smoothed BGaN Intrinsic Region
Committee:
Dr. Abdallah Ougazzaden, ECE, Chair , Advisor
Dr. Paul Voss, ECE, Co-Advisor

Abstract:
An investigation into possible ways to increase the efficiency of
betavoltaic battery technology by using a novel material, BGaN, by
utilizing the stacking of PIN devices, and to research designs to
increase the radioactive source efficiency by reducing self-absorption.
