An information recording medium (15) includes a substrate (14) and an information layer (16) formed on the substrate. The information layer includes a recording layer (104) whose phase can be changed between a crystalline phase and an amorphous phase by irradiation with a laser beam or application of electric energy; a Cr-containing layer (103 or 105) including at least Cr and O, arranged in contact with a first surface of the recording layer; and a Ga-containing layer (105 or 103) including at least Ga and O, arranged in contact with a second surface of the recording layer. |
