Magnetization reversal by electric field has recently been confirmed in cobalt-substituted bismuth ferrite (BiFe0.9Co0.1O3) thin films, which would be applicable to ultra-low energy consumption memory devices. In this study, we fabricated the nanodot array using pulsed laser deposition method with an anodized porous alumina mask to realize a unit of BiFe0.9Co0.1O3 with single ferroelectric domain. BiFe0.9Co0.1O3/SrRuO3 nanodots with a diameter of ~60 nm which is as small as a typical scale of ferroelectric domain in BiFe0.9Co0.1O3 films were successfully obtained.
