The structural refinement carried out using the Rietveld method indicated that La^3＋ ions were located into the two sites with a strong preference for metal （2） sites especially for low contents. A progressive shift of the F position along the c-axis outside the centre of the triangle formed by metal （2）-atoms was observed with the increase of x. The infrared and Raman spectra exhibited the characteristic vibration modes of PO4 and SiO4groups confirming the incorporation of this last group into the apatite structure. The 295i MAS-NMR spectra exhibited one resonance peak confirming the data obtained by X-ray diffraction, indicating that P and Si were located in the same crystallographic site.展开更多

A progressive shift of F-along the c-axis outside its ideal position occurred as a result of the substitution increase. This might be the cause of the observed stability decrease, especially as the energies of the La-O, La-F and Si-O bonds are higher than those of Ca-O, Ca-F and P-O.
