  The copper substituted lead oxyapatite,
Pb$_{10-x}$Cu$_{x}$(PO$_{3.92(4)}$)$_{6}$O$_{0.96(3)}$ (x=0.94(6)) was studied
using neutron and x-ray diffraction and neutron spectroscopy techniques. The
crystal structure of the main phase of our sample, which has come to be
colloquially known as LK-99, is verified to possess a hexagonal structure with
space group $P 6_{3}/m$, alongside the presence of impurity phases Cu and
Cu$_2$S. We determine the primary substitution location of the Cu as the Pb1
($6h$) site, with a small substitution at the Pb2 ($4f$) site. Consequently, no
clear Cu-doping-induced structural distortion was observed in the investigated
temperature region between 10~K and 300~K. Specially, we did not observe a
reduction of coordinate number at the Pb2 site or a clear tilting of PO$_4$
tetrahedron. Magnetic characterization reveals a diamagnetic signal in the
specimen, accompanied by a very weak ferromagnetic component at 2 K. No
long-range magnetic order down to 10 K was detected by the neutron diffraction.
Inelastic neutron scattering measurements did not show magnetic excitations for
energies up to 350 meV. There is no sign of a superconducting resonance in the
excitation spectrum of this material. The measured phonon density of states
compares well with density functional theory calculations performed for the
main LK-99 phase and its impurity phases. Our study may shed some insight into
the role of the favored substitution site of copper in the absence of
structural distortion and superconductivity in LK-99.
