The structural changes of aspartic acid (Asp) and phenylalanine (Phe) implanted with N

ions of 30keV were studied using Fourier transform infrared (FTLR) spectroscopy. Implanted at the same fluence of 1×10

similar phenomena were observed in both Asp and Phe
i.e.
the relative intensities of NH

stretching vibration increased. The changes of absorption intensities in Phe were more obvious than those in Asp. It was also observed that the intensities of COOH

groups of Asp changed regularly with increasing implantation fluences. The possible reasons responsible for these results were studied. The radiolysis products of Asp implanted at a higher fiuence of 6×10
