Multiferroic material BiFeO3 has attracted a tremendous interest from the fundamental research as well as application points of view because of its high ferroelectric Curie temperature of 820 oC and high Neel temperature of 370 oC. Recently, strain engineering has emerged as a powerful means for tuning the various properties of BiFeO3 thin film remarkably, such as by modifying ferroelectric domain walls or direction in BiFeO3, enhancing ferroelectricity. Also a weak ferromagnetic component, induced by spin canting, has been observed in strained thin films. Here we report a x-ray absorption magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) and x-ray absorption magnetic linear dichroism (XMLD) study showing a strong enhancement of the ferromagnetic component and tetragonal distortion for BiFeO3 thin film grown on NdGaO3 substrate.
