Abstract
The Raman spectra in the nanocrystalline Pb1-xSrxTiO3 system show that the morphotropic phase transition from the tetragonal phase to the cu bic structure occurs at x(c) = 0.57 and it can be associated with 'sof tening' of the lowest-frequency E(TO) phonon mode. The phase transitio n temperature in Pb0.8Sr0.2TiO3 decreases with decreasing grain size. The disappearance of the ferroelectric phase of Pb0.8Sr0.2TiO3 has bee n discussed as a function of grain size. The correlation between the t emperature-induced and the Sr-concentration-induced phase transition i n nanocrystalline Pb1-xSrxTiO3 has been observed.
