Structure and composition of silicon-stabilized tricalcium phosphate

TLDR
A composition range and crystallographic structure for Si-TCP is proposed and it is proposed that Si(4+) substitutes for P(5+)in the TCP lattice with the average chemical composition of Si- TCP set primarily by the mechanisms available for charge compensation.
