Raman scattering in relaxor ferroelectric PbMg{sub 1/3}Ta{sub 2/3}O{sub 3} (PMT) was investigated in the single-crystalline form in the temperature range of 20-295 K. An anomalous temperature dependence of the integrated intensity and the Raman line contours were found at the diffuse phase transition. A correlation between the anomalies in the integrated intensities and the dispersion of the dielectric response was observed. The distortions of Raman lines with decreasing temperature are discussed.
