Abstract
An optical information storage material having a substrate and a film deposited on the substrate, the state of said material can be changed from a low optical density state to a high optical density state by the application of electrical, optical or thermal energy. The major component of the film is GeO.sub.x1, SnO.sub.x1, SbO.sub.x2, TlO.sub.x2, BiO.sub.x2 or MoO.sub.x3 wherein 0 < x1 < 2.0, 0 < x2 < 1.5 and 0 < x3 < 3.0. The film can be a mixture of above-mentioned material and an additive for improving the properties thereof. The material is made by vacuum evaporating GeO.sub.2, SnO.sub.2, Sb.sub.2 O.sub.3, Tl.sub.2 O.sub.3, Bi.sub.2 O.sub.3 or MoO.sub.3 under deoxidization conditions.
