Abstract
The discovery of bio-effects by implantation of low-energy ions into biological organisms has opened a new branch in the field of ion beam application in life sciences. The groundwork of this area is based on the hypothesis of a combination of energy absorption, mass deposition, and charge transfer of energetic ions in the organisms, resulting in damage and inducing mutation effects. Although mechanism studies of the interaction between low-energy ions and organisms have made progress, ion beam applications in biotechnology have attained more achievements than the study of the interaction mechanisms.
