An information recording medium including three or more information layers, wherein: at least one information layer includes a recording layer and a nucleation layer; the recording layer contains a material that is represented by formula (1) [(Ge0.5Te0.5)x(In0.4Te0.6)1-x]ySb100-y (mol %) with x satisfying 0.8≦̸x<1.0 and y satisfying 95≦̸y<100; the nucleation layer contains a material that is represented by formula (2) (Ge0.5Te0.5)z(Bi0.4Te0.6)100-z (mol %) with z satisfying 10≦̸z≦̸71; and the nucleation layer is in contact with the recording layer. This information recording medium is capable of achieving sufficient signal amplitude even in cases where a small recording mark is formed, and is also capable of stably maintaining a small recording mark. |
