First-principles calculations were performed for CO32- ions in hydroxyapatite in order to investigate the atomic structures and thermodynamic stability of CO32- and its related defects. Two different chemical equilibrium conditions in high-temperature and aqueous-solution environments were considered, and atomic and ionic chemical potentials for the individual chemical equilibrium conditions were evaluated to calculate defect formation energies. It was found that A-type CO32- (substituting OH-) is energetically more favorable than B-type CO32- (substituting PO43-) in the high-temperature environment, whereas B-type is preferred to A-type in the aqueous solution environment. This result successfully reproduces experimentally observed trends. In the formation of A-type and B-type CO, OH- vacancies or protons (interstitial or substitutional) act as charge-compensating defects. (C) 2014 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
