Multiferroic BiFeO{sub 3} epitaxial thin films are prepared using pulsed laser deposition method on single crystal SrTiO{sub 3}(001) substrates. The prepared films are characterized by [001] growth and the in-plane {phi}-scans haven shown that the films are characterized by ''cube-on-cube'' epitaxial growth. The photoelectron spectroscopy results confirm the presence of Fe{sup 3+} only. Better magnetic properties are observed in the case of less thickness BiFeO{sub 3} film as compared to higher thickness, which could be due to the in-plane strain effect.
