Investigations of the Raman spectra of lead–lanthanum–zirconate‐titanates (PLZT) x :95:5 ( x = 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 wt.% La 2 O 3 ) ceramics over a range of temperature from 10 K to room temperature are presented. With increasing temperature the intensity of the Raman spectra, corrected for the Bose population factor, is lower above the transition temperature T 0 = 130 K; this intensity lowering is characteristic of disorder‐induced spectra. This temperature dependence is interpreted by means of the theory of fluctuating clusters in the low‐temperature phase and the order parameter below T 0 was determined. Associated with this phase transition, it was found that some softening effects are present in the vibrational wavenumbers.
