Crystal and domain structures, and ferroelectric properties of tensile-strained BiFeO3 epitaxial films grown on orthorhombic (110)o PrScO3 substrates were investigated. All films possess a MB-type monoclinic structure with 109° stripe domains oriented along the [1¯10]o direction. For films thickness...
