A monoclinic phase was discovered in (NaKLi)NbO solid solution ceramics grown by a malic acid complex solution method. The average and local structures of this monoclinic phase were analyzed by synchrotron X-ray measurements. The local structure can be reproduced by assuming a rhombohedral model, that is the same local structure of KNbO. The results demonstrate that the monoclinic average structure is observed as a disordered rhombohedral structure.
