The novel strain-driven morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) in highly strained BiFeO3 thin films is characterized by well-ordered mixed phase nanodomains (MPNs). Through scanning probe microscopy and synchrotron X-ray diffraction, eight structural variants of the MPNs are identified. Detailed polariza...
