We report the effect of temperature on the local structure of Pb(Zr0.58Ti0.42)O3 single crystal studied by X-Rays Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) technique. The local structure related to Ti K-edge XANES reflects the significant change of the local structure of PZT unit cell before and after temperature variation. This change is likely caused by the shift of the Ti atom in the unit cell. More importantly, the clear agreement between the measured and calculated XANES spectra is supporting the evidence of local structure distortion in PZT material due to the small displacement of Ti atoms surrounded by oxygen atoms.
