The thickness of the recording layer 2 favorably ranges from about 100 angstroms (Å) to about 1000 Å and more favorably from 180 Å to 400 Å. The content of Se in the recording layer 2 favorably lies within a range from 2 to 40 atomic percent, more favorably from 10 to 30 atomic percent. The content of N is favorably to be from 2 to 20 atomic percent, and more favorably from 2 to 10 atomic percent.Field of SearchOf inorganic materialMetal-compound-containing layer Layer contains compound(s) of plural metals Carbide-, nitride-, or sulfide-containing layer Next to second metal-compound-containing layer Of B, N, P, S, or metal-containing material MATERIAL DESIGNED TO BE RESPONSIVE TO TEMPERATURE, LIGHT, MOISTURE, ETC.
