Radioisotope microbatteries book

Advanced Battery Technology, Jan 2003

Representing the collective effort of 30 leading scientists in Russia and the United States, Polymers, Phosphors, and Voltaics for Radioscope Microbatteries is the first book devoted to the subject of nuclear batteries.

This 504-page book (ISBN: 0-8493-0915-8) presents the state-of-the-art in interdisciplinary research in radio-- chemistry, tritium storage, semiconductor fabrication and characterization, nuclear battery fabrication and testing, and integration into MEMS and other electronic devices. A key feature of this book is its discussion of construction materials for miniaturized radioisotope power supplies, since progress in nuclear battery technology depends on characterization of functionally radiation-stable components.
