First-principles calculations were carried out to reveal local atomic arrangements and thermodynamic stability of substitutional divalent cations of Mg2+, Zn2+, Sr2+ and Ba2+ in tricalcium phosphates (TCPs). There are two modifications of alpha-TCP and beta-TCP, and a number of inequivalent Ca sites are present in the crystal structures. It was found that each divalent cation has energetically preferential Ca sites for substitution. For instance, Mg2+ and Zn2+ favor the substitution at the Ca-5 site of beta-TCP while Sr2+ and Ba2+ tend to occupy Ca-3 and Ca-4 in the beta-type crystal structure. The calculated site preference of these cations was in reasonable agreement with available experimental data. Moreover, it was found that these cations have negative formation energies at specific Ca sites especially in beta-TCP, indicating the stabilization of the beta phase. (C) 2015 Acta Materialia Inc.
