Abstract A strain‐driven BiFeO ₃ (BFO) tetragonal to rhombohedral phase transition is demonstrated in self‐assembled BiFeO ₃ ‐CoFe ₂ O ₄ (BFO‐CFO) nanocomposites on LaAlO ₃ (110)‐oriented substrates with varying thickness. The CFO forms parallel nanoscale fin‐shaped structures within a BFO matrix. Out‐of‐plane lattice strain from the BFO/CFO interfaces stabilizes the BFO rhombohedral‐like phase. The BFO exhibits a range of ferroelectric textures including stripe domains and centered domain arrangements, and the magnetic anisotropy of CFO shows a thickness‐dependent reorientation.
