Abstract
Cadmium-containing hydroxyapatite and fluorapatite were prepared by a wet process in a basic medium and/or by a solid-gas reaction. Refinement of occupancy factor, using the Rietveld method, shows that the cadmium distribution is not strictly randomized between the two crystallographic cationic sites in the apatitic structure. Whatever the synthesis method used, cadmium has a slight preference for the Ca I site in fluorapatite and the Ca II site in hydroxyapatite.
