We report high pressure X-ray diffraction experiments on BiFeO3 (BFO) single crystals in diamond-anvil cells up to 14 GPa. Two data sets are compared, one in hydrostatic conditions, with helium used as a pressure-transmitting medium (PTM), and the other in non-hydrostatic conditions, with silicon oil as a PTM. It is shown that the crystal undergoes different phase transitions in the two cases, highlighting the high sensitivity of BFO to non-hydrostatic stress. Consequences for the interpretation of high pressure structural studies are discussed.
