Crystal structure of apatite type Ca2.49Nd7.51(SiO4)6O1.75

The title compound, Ca2+xNd8–x(SiO4)6O2–0.5x (x = 0.49), was synthesized at 1873 K and rapidly quenched to room temperature. Its structure has been determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction and compared with results reported using neutron and X-ray powder diffraction from samples prepared by...
