Abstract:
The goal of the PHOENIX project is to develop and test several demonstration models (laboratory measuring setups), and to prepare appropriate procedures in order to provide services for the evaluation of ionizing radiations effects on: (i) organic solar cells (organic photovoltaics - OPV) and (ii) silicon photomultipliers (SiPM), to assess their reliability for possible use in space missions. The developed setups will be used for OPVs and SiPMs off-line testing, these devices being exposed in different sessions to: (i) gamma-ray, (ii) electron beam, (iii) alpha particles, and (iv) protons. Optical, electrical and optoelectronic characteristics will be measured by pre and post irradiation tests, for various irradiation conditions. The project Coordinator will cooperate with partners from The Netherlands and Germany , who are manufactures of such components. In this way the project will contribute, through its results, to Romania's participation to COST Actions: (i) MP1307, Stable Next-Generation Photovoltaics: Unraveling degradation mechanisms of Organic Solar Cells by complementary characterization techniques - StableNextSol and (ii) TD1401, Fast Advanced Scintillator Timing - FAST which gathers communities interested into the subject. Innovative optical and THz spectroscopy methods will be used for the evaluation of radiation induced changes in the investigated devices.

Abstract:
Scopul proiectului PHOENIX este de a dezvolta si testa mai multe modele demonstrative (montaje experimentale de laborator) si de a elabora proceduri adecvate pentru a furniza servicii in vederea evaluarii efectelor radiatiilor ionizante asupra: (i) celulelor solare organice (organic photovoltaics - OPV ) si a (ii) fotomultiplicatoarelor de siliciu (SiPM), pentru a evalua fiabilitatea lor in scopul utilizarii în misiuni spatiale. Montajele de laborator dezvoltate vor fi folosite pentru testarile off-line ale OPV si SiPM, aceste dispozitive fiind expuse în sesiuni separate la: (i) radiatia gamma, (ii) fascicul de electroni, (iii) particule alfa si (iv) protoni. Caracteristicile optice, electrice si optoelectronice vor fi masurate prin teste pre si post iradiere, pentru diferite conditii de iradiere. Coordonatorul proiectului va coopera cu parteneri din Olanda si Germania, care sunt producatori de astfel de componente. În acest fel, proiectul va contribui, prin rezultatele sale, la participarea României la actiunile COST: (i) MP1307, Stable Next-Generation Photovoltaics: Unraveling degradation mechanisms of Organic Solar Cells by complementary characterization techniques - StableNextSol si (ii) TD1401, Fast Advanced Scintillator Timing - FAST care reunesc comunitatile stiintifice interesate de subiectul prezentului proiect. Metodele inovative de spectroscopie optica si THz vor fi utilizate pentru evaluarea modificarilor induse de radiatii în dispozitivele investigate.
