B. D. Begg coauthored research on plutonium substitution at zirconium sites in zirconolite. The reported structural changes include transitions between zirconolite variants and a pyrochlore-related structure.
Replacing one ion by another can change preferred coordination and charge compensation. A nominal substitution is consequently a hypothesis about a crystal's atomic sites, not merely a change in its bulk elemental recipe.[ref]
