Raman spectra of KTa1xNbxO3(KTN) single crystal,its melt, and the solid-liquid boundary layer in the growing process at different temperatures were measured in-situ. The structure transformation in KTN crystal growth process was investigated. The results showed that the [Ta/NbO3] entities came into solid-liquid boundary layer from KTN melt, and they were transformed to [Ta/NbO6] octahedron entities. And the structure of [Ta/NbO6] octahedron entity was just like that of KTN single cell. Regarding [Ta/NbO6] octahedron as growth units, the growth habit of KTN crystal in which the (100), (1-00), (010) and (01-0) faces are easily revealed was discussed. The thickness of the growth solid-liquid boundary layer of KTN crystal was about 80—90 μm.
