Possible ferroic properties of copper-substituted lead phosphate apatite

Abstract

Paper provides symmetry arguments explaining that charge density wave induced by copper doping to lead phosphate apatite crystal implies a symmetry breaking phase transition from $P{6}_3/m$ (176) to a polar and chiral phase with $P{6}_3$ (173) spacegroup symmetry.
