Abstract

BiFeO3, a single-phase multiferroic material, possesses several polymorphs and exhibits a strong sensitivity to strain. Recently, emergent strain engineering in BiFeO3 thin films has attracted intense interest, which can overcome the confines of traditional strain engineering introduced through the mismatch between the film and substrate. In this review, we discuss emerging non-traditional strain engineering approaches to create new ground states and manipulate novel functionalities in multiferroic BiFeO3 thin films. Through fabricating freestanding thin films, inserting an interface layer or utilizing thermal expansion mismatch, continuously tunable strain can be imposed beyond substrate limitations. Nanostructured evolution and defect introduction are discussed as efficient routes to introduce strain, promising for the development of new nanodevices. Ultrafast optical excitation, growth conditions and chemical doping driven strain are summarized as well. We hope this review will arouse the readers’ interest in this fascinating field.
