摘要：

Multiferroic BiFeO3 epitaxial films with thicknesses ranging from 40 to 960 nm were grown by pulsed laser deposition on SrTiO3 (001) substrates with SrRuO3 bottom electrodes. X-ray characterization shows that the structure evolves from angularly distorted tetragonal with c/a approximate to 1.04 to more bulklike distorted rhombohedral (c/a approximate to 1.01) as the strain relaxes with increasing thickness. Despite this significant structural evolution, the ferroelectric polarization along the body diagonal of the distorted pseudocubic unit cells, as calculated from measurements along the normal direction, barely changes.
