Lanthanum-doped lead zirconate titanate, PLZT-x/65/35 (x=8.0, 9.0, and 9.4), relaxor ferroelectric ceramics were investigated by the high resolution Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy in the temperature range from ~870 down to ~170 K. Broad anomalies were observed in the acoustic phonon mode velocity and related elastic stiffness coefficient showing minimum between ~320–~240 K. The deviation in the acoustic mode velocity from the high temperature linearity at the Burns temperature (TB~720 K) and presence of a broad central peak in the temperature range 200T540 K were attributed to the dynamics of polar nanoregions with randomly oriented local polarization appearing due to site and/or charge disorder at both A- and B-sites of the ABO3 perovskite lattice. The presence of a new temperature point Td (~575 K) was conclusively established in PLZT-x/65/35 relaxor ceramics.
