What is Alpha-Voltaic Power Sources in Diamond about?

This document summarizes a proposed power source that would use the direct conversion of alpha particle kinetic energy into electricity in diamond semiconductor diodes. These solid-state power sources could operate over wide temperature ranges on Earth and in space, with lifetimes of 10-20 years and energy conversion efficiencies over 35%. Each device would contain doped diamond Schottky and p-n diode structures sandwiched around a thin film of curium-244, an alpha particle source. The alpha particles would
