Abstract

Lead phosphate apatite, the parent compound of the proposed room-temperature superconductor LK-99, features a [Pb₁₀(PO₄)₆]^II scaffold with a charge-compensating oxide ion. This O^-II occupies a 4e site in the P6₃/m unit cell, with 25% probability on average. We model the occupancy of this site from substoichiometric (x = 0) to superstoichiometric (x = 4) regimes in Pb₁₀(PO₄)₆O_x. Doping is predicted by adjusting the oxygen composition within the ⟨0001⟩ channel, with evidence for strong O-O correlation. This behavior introduces a sensitivity to the crystal growth and annealing conditions, with an opportunity for novel functionality to emerge.
