The potassium tantalate niobate KTa_0.63Nb_0.37O₃ single crystal with large size and good quality was synthesized by Czochralski method. The crystal composition and structure were determined by electric probe microanalysis (EPMA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique, respectively. The sequence of phase transitions of the as-grown crystal was investigated by Raman scattering technique. What features in the phonon spectrum corresponding to each phase transition, namely cubic to tetragonal (C-T), tetragonal to orthorhombic (T-R) and orthorhombic to rhom-bohedral (O-R), is discussed. Following the features the C-T phase transition point measured is in the vicinity of -40 ℃, and the difference from theoretical value was discussed; T-O phase transition point is at around -130 ℃, while the O-R phase transition point was not obtained due to the band overlapping and experiment limit.
