Abstract
Abstract This invention provides an optical recording material comprising a base and a thin film formed on the base and composed of oxides which are represented by the formula (V2O5)1-x. (MyOz)x wherein MyOz is at least one of metal oxides, metalloid oxides and non-metal oxides, and 0</=x<1 and which have an amorphous or layer structure and a process for preparing an optical recording material, the process comprising the steps of applying to a base a solution, sol solution or gel solution of amorphous oxides represented by the formula (V2O5)1-x.(MyOz)x wherein MyOz is at least one of metal oxides, metalloid oxides and nonmetal oxides, and 0</=x<1, and evaporating off the solvent.
