Crystalline structures of La{sub 9.33}Si{sub 6}O{sub 26} and La{sub 9}AESi{sub 6}O{sub 26+{delta}} (AE=Ba, Sr and Ca) doped apatites-type lanthanum silicates were investigated by X-ray and neutron powder diffraction at room temperature. The results obtained after different models testing show that the apatite structure is best described using the P6{sub 3} space group. The loss of the mirror symmetry perpendicular to the ionic conduction channel direction results from heterogeneous La{sup 3+}/AE{sup 2+} distribution of the sites so-called ''4f''. The Rietveld refinements do not show splitting of the conduction oxygen (0,0,14) site but rather a very large spread of the nuclear density associated to this site. This effect is more pronounced for the La{sub 9}AESi{sub 6}O{sub 26+{delta}}-doped compounds. Large anisotropic thermal displacement parameters are also observed for the oxygens associated to the isolated [SiO{sub 4}], suggesting a rotation of this tetrahedron around the Si site. Lastly, vacancies were also systematically observed in the lanthanum nine-coordinated sites.
