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.

High-resolution Brillouin scattering experiments have been performed to investigate the low temperature "aging" effect in lanthanum lead zirconate titanate (PLZT) relaxor ferroelectric ceramics. From the temperature dependence of the frequency shift of longitudinal acoustic mode, an acoustic anomaly was observed at T0~46 K in these ceramics with clear "aging" effect below T0. The results have been discussed in the light of stepwise freezing of the related degrees of freedom causing transition from proper to improper dipole glassy states at T0.
