%X BiFeO3 thin films with a mixture of tunable R-like and c axis elongated low symmetry phase (T-like phase) are fabricated on STO (001) substrate through controlling of the substrate temperature. Almost pure T-like phase can be grown on STO substrate at 600ˇăC. Comparing with the situations on LAO (001), it is found that, strains from the LAO substrate may be the only reason that induces the T-like phase at higher temperatures. At lower temperatures, the island growth induced strains alone can also generate T-like phase on STO substrate.
