Powders for x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 0.9 and 1 were prepared and characterized by XRD. The lattice constants and space groups were obtained as functions of Ti concentration. PAC analyses were done for ferroelectric PZT for x = 0.9 and 0.8 as a function of temperature, and for x = 0.6 at RT. Also antiferroelectric PbZrO3 was analysed. Low-concentration Ta-181 nuclei were used as probes. In the ferroelectric and paraelectric phases of PZT compounds two sites were occupied by probes. For each site the quadrupole frequency, asymmetry and relative distribution width parameters were obtained as functions of temperature above and below the Curie temperature. For PbZrO3 only one site was detected with a static quadrupole interaction below T-c and a nuclear spin-relaxation process above it. Furthermore, the temperature dependence of the hyperfine parameters, the possible origin of both quadrupole interactions in PZT and the perturbation that characterizes the cubic phases of ABO(3) and ABB'O-3 compounds are discussed.
