Abstract
The coupling of ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic order in BiFeO3 makes it appealing for applications however the presence of domain structure acts to undermine this potential. Here, the authors demonstrate BiFeO3thin films with a single domain of electrical polarization and canted antiferromagnetic order.
