A morphotropic phase boundary driven by epitaxial strain has been observed in lead-free multiferroic BiFeO3 thin films and the strain-driven phase transitions have been widely reported as iso-symmetric Cc-Cc by recent works. In this paper, it is suggested that the tetragonal-like BiFeO3 phase identi...
