The radioactive carbon diamond is probably acting as a diode, making it a
self-powered diode. The beta emission would be similar to high voltage. It is a
good bet that the physical shape must be tapered and brings to mind the Shawyer
cavity.
Schottky diodes made of artificial diamond are known to have extreme breakdown
voltages >6 kV which is many times greater than semiconductor diodes.
