Abstract
-based devices show superior radiation tolerance and thermal stability due to a lower number of displaced atoms under proton irradiation. Using TALYS 2.0, we calculated the cross-sections and radioactivities of the isotopes produced by the interaction of protons with the solar cell layers. The results showed the formation of a number of stable and radioactive isotopes as a result of this irradiation, but the radioactivity levels were very low and did not pose any significant threat.
