BiFeO3 thin film grown on LaAlO3(001) substrate shows 'R' like phase near the film-substrate interface which further goes to 'T' like phase with increasing thickness. Out-of-plane lattice parameter increases from 'R' like phase to 'T' like phase. Is it possible to same kind of structural transition if BiFeO3 film is grown on SrTiO3(001) substrate?
