Is this appliable to other materials?
Like, the inside of a fusion chamber?
Avalanche Effect Demonstrated In Solar Cells
I don't know that it would do you much good. If most of the energy is in the alphas, then absorbing the light in the walls will be just a few percent of the total power output at most.
I expect that the materials that are good at avalanch production are weak in terms of thermal stress. Kinda like chlorophil - it's really good at absorbing light energy but it's not so good inside a nuclear reactor.

Hello Vernes,
According to Dr. Joe Khachan, the presence of light emanating from a fusor is evidence of electron transitions, and represents losses rather than fusion. Fusion occurs with nuclear transformations, and light energy is not emitted. A good fusor is a dark fusor in Dr. Joe's thinking.
Hence, something to pick up light or UV on the inside of the fusor would not be useful if the fusor is actually working.
