Abstract

According to one embodiment, an information recording and reproducing device includes a first layer, a second layer and a recording layer. The recording layer is provided between the first layer and the second layer and being capable of reversibly changing between a first state having a first resistance and a second state having a second resistance higher than the first resistance by a current supplied via the first layer and the second layer. The recording layer includes a first compound layer and an insulating layer. The first compound layer contains a first compound. The first compound includes a first cation element and a second cation element of a type different from the first cation element. The insulating layer contains a third compound, and the third compound includes an element selected from group 1 to 4 elements and group 12 to 17 elements in the periodic table.
