Popis: National Institute for Astronomy and Geophysics Research, Helwan, Cairo 11421, EgyptReceived July 30, 2010; revised September 13, 2010; accepted October 1, 2010; published online December 20, 2010GaAs solar cells with the lower base carrier concentration under low energy proton irradiations had shown experimentally the better radiation-resistance. Analytical model based on fundamental approach for radiative and non-radiative recombination has been proposed for radiationdamage in GaAs sub-cells. The radiation resistance of GaAs sub-cells as a function of base carrier concentration has been analyzed by usingradiative recombination lifetime and damage coefficient for minority carrier lifetime. Numerical analysis shows good agreement with experimentalresults. The effect of carrier concentration upon the change of damage constant and carrier removal rate have been studied.# 2010 The Japan Society of Applied PhysicsDOI: 10.1143/JJAP.49.121202
