Abstract

To construct beta converters with maximum efficiency it is necessary to carry out a theoretical calculation in order to determine their optimal parameters - the geometry of the structure, the thickness of the deposition of the radioisotope layer, the depth and the width of the p-n junction, and others. To date, many different theoretical models and calculation methods have been proposed. There are fairly simple theoretical models based on the Bethe-Bloch formula and the calculation of the rate of generation of electron-hole pairs, anf on calculations by equivalent circuits. Also, the Monte-Carlo method is used for theoretical modeling of beta converters. This paper explores beta converter optimization using the Monte Carlo method. The purpose of the study is to conduct a Monte-Carlo simulation of a beta converter to determine its optimal parameters.
