Ultra-thin lead titanate (PbTiO3) films of 6 to 80 nm in thickness were deposited on single crystal MgO (100) substrate by employing tripole magnetron sputtering system, which was deviced to make the erosion area on the co-axial targets movable, and hence make a layer-by-layer process realized. Thin films of PbTiO3 with highly-oriented perovskite single phase were obtained at substrate temperature of 550°C. In the films thicker than 20 nm, the X-ray diffraction showed clearly the separated (100) and (001) peaks, while in those thinner than 10 nm, two peaks seemed to be superimposed onto a single peak, suggesting a gradual transition into pseudocubic. Far-infrared spectroscopy indicated a thickness-dependent absorption at wavenumber of 85 cm-1, which may be attributed to the phonon related to the Pb-TiO6 vibration.
