Origin of thickness dependence of structural phase transition temperatures in highly strained BiFeO3 thin films
Two structural phase transitions are investigated in highly strained BiFeO3 thin films as a function of film thickness and temperature via synchrotron x-ray diffraction. Both transition temperatures (upon heating: monoclinic MC to monoclinic MA to tetragonal) decrease as the film becomes thinner. A...
