Abstract
GaAs solar cells with different structures and polarities were irradiated with 1 and 5 MeV electrons. The energy dependence of the electron damage coefficients for the photocurrent, photovoltage, and maximum power were found to vary approximately linearly with NIEL in contrast to what has been found for other GaAs cells.
