In this work we present results of highly accurate Raman spectroscopic experiments applied in azimuthal rotation measurements on epitaxial BiFeO3 thin films grown on different scandate substrates. We observe periodic changes in Raman position, full width at half maximum and intensity for some phonon modes as a function of the azimuthal angle Φ. Further analysis revealed the possibility of the so far controversial assignment of Raman modes at low frequencies (< 250 cm−1) through rotational Raman measurements, that show high sensitivity towards the mentioned parameters. We successfully simulated the azimuthal behaviour of Raman intensity and position of selected modes offering a symmetry assignment for them. In addition our results support the domain character of the BFO/DSO thin film identified by piezoresponse-force microscopy measurements.
