The invention discloses a preparation method of a
bismuth ferrite nano island based on a
molecular beam epitaxy method, which comprises the following steps: a substrate is transferred into a
molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth chamber, and the temperature of the substrate is greater than or equal to the
evaporation temperature of a Bi source; the Bi source and the Fe source are heated to the
evaporation temperature, and the beam sizes of the Bi source and the Fe source are adjusted; pure
ozone is adopted as an epitaxial growth
atmosphere, the pressure of the growth chamber is adjusted to 2 * 10 <-6 >-1 * 10 <-5 >
Torr, and the Bi source and the Fe source are mixed in the growth chamber for epitaxial growth; and cooling to obtain the
bismuth ferrite epitaxial nano island. The invention also discloses the
bismuth ferrite nano island obtained by the preparation method and an application of the
bismuth ferrite nano island in a ferroelectric memory. According to the preparation method, large-area integration of the
bismuth ferrite epitaxial nano island can be realized, introduction of a second phase such as a template is avoided, the process steps are simple, and the preparation efficiency is high; the prepared
bismuth ferrite nano island has a good integration level, the nano islands are relatively independent, information can be independently written and erased, the position of
a domain wall can be effectively bound, and the service life of a memory is prolonged.
