Have you found any evidence that gamma ray emitters don't emit gamma rays when the nucleus emitting the gamma ray is incoporated in a semi-conductor crystal? Note that absorbtion of external gamma rays by semi-conductors, that then convert the gamma energy into other forms is very inefficient (2%)*, which is something I would not expect if the lattice as a whole were absorbing the energy. (Of course you may argue that since the source of the gamma in this case is external, the nucleus from which it was emitted had no opportunity to couple with the lattice. Hence my question above. * See e.g. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330650579_Direct_Energy_Conversion_From_Gamma_Ray_to_Electricity_Using_Silicon_Semiconductor_Cells As I understand it, an external gamma ray is usually at least partly absorbed by an atomic electron, which results in the atom being ionized, and the electron leaving with at least some of the energy of the gamma. The electron may then in turn ionize other atoms. The net result is lots of ionized atoms and free electrons. If those free electons are anywhere other than in the junction of a diode, then their energy will eventually be converted to heat when they recombine with the ions. Even those electrons that are in the junction will lose some of their energy to electrical resistance. Given that the junction is usually only a small part of a semi-conductor diode, the overall efficiency may be expected to be low, as seen in the paper quoted here above. >ANSWERS: > > > 1.
