Abstract
A layer crystal structure oxide, and memory element comprising same, comprising bismuth (Bi), a first element, a second element and oxygen (O), wherein the first element is at least one selected from the group consisting of sodium (Na), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), barium (Ba), strontium (Sr), lead (Pb), and bismuth (Bi), the second element is at least one selected from the group consisting of iron (Fe), titanium (Ti), niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta), and tungsten (W), and the composition ratio of the bismuth with respect to the second element is larger than the stoichiometric composition ratio, wherein, the composition ratio of the bismuth with respect to the first element is in the range of (2±0.17)/(m−1) including the stoichiometric composition ratio 2/(m−1), where m is an integer from, and including, 2 to 5.
