Nanoscale phase separation in quasi-uniaxial and biaxial strained multiferroic thin films. Applied physics letters, 99(13), 132905-. | Series/Report no.: | Applied physics letters | Abstract: | Nanoscale phase separation was investigated in epitaxial strained BiFeO3thin films on LaAlO3 single crystal substrate. In biaxial strained thin films, nanoscale mixtures of the tetragonal-like and rhombohedral-like phases occur with a film thickness above 35 nm. For 10-30 nm ultrathin ones, tetragonal-like single phase is confirmed using synchrotron x-ray and the atomic force microscopy studies. However, nanoscale phase separations are still observed in quasi-uniaxial transmission electron microscopy foil specimens for those ultrathin films, indicating the phase separation emerges in a much smaller thickness in uniaxial constraint films than that in biaxial ones. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/106101 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/20914 |
