Spatially Modulated Morphotropic Phase Boundaries in a Compressively Strained Multiferroic Thin Film
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The coexisting rhombohedral‐like (R′, MA) and tetragonal‐like (T′, MC) monoclinic phases in compressively strained bismuth ferrite thin films exhibit exceptional piezoelectric and magnetic properties. While previous studies have largely focused on probing the morphotropic phase boundaries (MPBs) comprising ordered R′/T′ twins, their self ...
