ABSTRACT:
A phase change recording medium comprising an as-deposited first recording layer configured to undergo a reversible phase change between an amorphous state and a crystalline state due to light irradiation and thereby change an optical characteristic. The as-deposited first recording layer includes a plurality of fine nuclei having an average size of 0.5 nm to 4 nm in the amorphous state.
