Abstract: Nanocrystalline (Pb0.9-xLa0.1Cax)Ti0.975O3 (PLCT) powders were prepared by the sol-gel technique. The average grain size of the powders is
from 20 to 40nm. The structure of the PLCT powders was investigated by using Raman scattering and X-ray diffraction analyses. The experimental results show that
low frequency phonon mode of PLCT (100x) Raman spectrum is attributed to the deviation of Ca2+ and La3+ in A location of the perovskite structure;
and high frequency phonon mode is attributed to the deformation of TiO6 octahedron, which is resulted by the deviation of the atoms in TiO6 octahedron from ideal position.
