Abstract
An atmospheric absorption system of molecular oxygen and water has bee n detected and identified in apatites. Such a phenomenon is firstly de scribed in solids. Our results confirm that molecular oxygen and water may be accommodated by structural incorporation in the channels of th e apatite structure. A reabsorption spectrum represents a new spectros copic tool which gives direct evidence of such existence. (C) 1997 Els evier Science B.V.
