Changes in the structure of the valence band of calcium apatite because of isomorphous substitutions of calcium ions by 3$d$-metal ions and magnesium are investigated using combination of various spectral methods and quantum-mechanical calculations. The regularities in the formation of the electron-energy structure and the nature of chemical bonds in the series of apatite-like compounds are established. Effects in the evolution of the structure of valence bands and charge states of atoms are determined depending on the type and degree of doping with 3$d$-metals and magnesium. Correlation of the lines’ positions and shape for the calculated and experimental data indicates the preferable introduction of 3$d$-metals into the Ca$_{(2)}$-position of the apatite structure.
Key words: apatite, electronic structure, 3$d$-metals, isomorphic substitution.
