A new possible atomic arrangement for the carbon atom in the B-sites of AB-type carbonate apatite

The crystal structure of a synthetic AB-type carbonate apatite sample was analyzed by Rietveld refinement including a model with carbon atom not fixed in the B-site of the apatite structure. Only one constraint was applied to this model: the fractional occupancies of the atoms in the CO3 ion plus PO...
