  • Abstract
    This paper investigates the suitability of the equation below for accurately defining solar cell parameter degradation as a function of hard particle radiation. Y = Y/sub o/ + C/sub 1/ * Log(1 + /spl phi///spl phi//sub x/) + C/sub 2/ * Log(1 + /spl phi///spl phi//sub y/). The paper uses the Levenberg-Marquardt method for determining the constants in the equation and compares predictions from the equation to those obtained by polynomial fits: Y = /spl Sigma/(a/sub i/ * [In(/spl phi/)]/sup i/).
