Abstract
A silver alloy reflective film contains X1 as a component and has an enriched layer located in a region within 2 nm deep from the surface of the reflective film, in which the component X1 is enriched in the enriched layer at a higher concentration than the average concentration of X1 in the whole of the reflective film, wherein X1 is at least one alloying element selected from the group consisting of Bi, Si, Ge, Pb, Zn, Cd, Hg, Al, Ga, In, Tl, Sn, As, and Sb. The reflective film has stable and excellent basic properties as reflective films, such as initial reflectivity and durability, and satisfies further requirements, such as laser marking suitability. An optical information recording medium includes the reflective film and is excellent.
