| Abstract | Large compressive strains may introduce giant tetragonality and morphotropic phase boundaries in perovskite BiFeO3 films, where the coexisting tetragonal and rhombohedral phases (T like and R like phases) are identified to exhibit large piezoelectric response. Here, we have further achieved mechanical bending deformations in R like BiFeO3 through its neighboring T like BiFeO3 phases, where a strain gradient of similar to 10(6)/m was identified. Aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy revealed not only the strain distributions but also the atomic scale Fe polar displacement in the gradient R like BiFeO3. In spite of the giant strain gradient, the polarization direction in each R like BiFeO3 unit cell was found mainly along its diagonal direction, suggesting that potential flexoelectric coupling induced polarization in BiFeO3 is smaller than its spontaneous polarizations, while a large built-in electric field can be obtained via the large strain gradient. Our results indicate that the common phase coexistences in oxide materials could be further manipulated to introduce elastic strain gradients and tune the properties for oxide films. |
