We conducted neutron total scattering measurements on lead-free Ba(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O-3-0.5 (Ba0.7Ca0.3)TiO3 (BZT-0.5BCT) ceramic at 300 K and 150 K, and studied both long-range and local structures near the morphotropic phase boundary. Despite the long-range phase transition from tetragonal to rhombohedral structures, we found that local atomic structure of BZT-0.5BCT barely changes between 300 K and 150 K. To incorporate both long-range and local structures in a consistent way, we performed reverse Monte Carlo modeling. In BZT-0.5BCT, we found that the Ca substitution on Ba sites causes little impact on the local displacement of Ti ion but enhances octahedral tilting of ZrO6, resulting in nonuniform lattice distortion.
