This invention, related to an optical information recording medium for recording, reproducing and erasing information by causing changes in the optical constant by using light, heat or other means, is intended to propose a recording film material of a novel composition in order to realize higher transfer rate of signals. Specifically, it is an alloy composed of indium (In) and A and B (A is at least one element selected from Ag, Cu, and B is at least one element selected from S, Se, Te), and more particularly it is composed in the vicinity of the stoichiometric compound of the above three-element system.Since the recording film material of this invention is fast in the rate of crystallization, it is possible to present an optical information recording medium that can cope with the forthcoming trend of higher transfer rate of signals.
