We have investigated proton beam irradiation effects on TlH2PO4 (TDP) showing an antiferroelectric phase transition and a ferroelastic phase transition. The sample was irradiated by 1 MeV proton beams to a dose of 1015 ions/cm2 and studied by means of 1H NMR measurements. The NMR rotating-frame spin-lattice relaxation time was measured as a function of temperature, and analyzed in order to understand the proton motions and the order parameter reflecting the structural changes caused by the proton irradiation.
