Abstract
A process is described in which radioactive radiation traverses a solid dielectric medium to charge a collector electrode. This process offers a simple method of studying effects of radiation on matter such as bombardment-induced conductivity, secondary emission, charge soakage, and radiation absorption. Typical data are given. Possible application of this process for the construction of a current or voltage source for use in electronic devices is discussed.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
