Abstract

Time-resolved luminescence allows the differences between rare-earth elements and manganese accommodation in apatites to be distinguished. The valence state and exact crystal site of incorporated cations are interpreted from the spectral characteristics. Contrary to the apriory incorporated cations, the adsorbed species can be revealed only after high temperature diffusion.
