Refined lattice parameters for the three phase assemblages in Ca6Pb9Si9 − xGexO33 polysomes. Disequilbrium is reminiscent of that observed previously in (Ca,Pb)10(VO4)6F2 apatites where several weeks high-temperature annealing were required to obtain a stable phase assemblage (Dong & White, 2004a,b). Over the whole compositional range the greater span of the c axis, compared with the basal plane, may reflect module, chemical or stacking disorder. |
