Evolution of crystal structure in Pb 1‐ x Ba x ( Fe 1/2 Nb 1/2 ) O 3 ceramics has been investigated by X‐ray diffraction and Raman spectra analysis together with the dielectric characterization. The crystal structure for all compositions is cubic and the cell volume indicates a sudden change at x  =   0.075. Pb 1‐ x Ba x ( Fe 1/2 Nb 1/2 ) O 3 ceramics with x  >   0.075 are paraelectric, whereas those for x  <   0.075 are ferroelectric at room temperature. The evolution of phonon modes indicates that the ferroelectricity of Pb 1‐ x Ba x ( Fe 1/2 Nb 1/2 ) O 3 solid solution ceramics is caused by the off‐center Nb 5+ in BO 6 octahedron. The ferroelectric‐related distortion is still observed in paraelectric solid solutions with x  >   0.075.
