1. A ferroelectric recording medium including an electrode layer, a ferroelectric recording layer, and a protection layer formed in this order on a substrate,
wherein the ferroelectric recording layer includes a ferroelectric layer,
a lattice constant of a material constituting the ferroelectric layer and a lattice constant of a material constituting the electrode layer or the substrate are lattice-matched within a range of ±10%,
the ferroelectric layer has an amorphous structure with short-range order,
a distance of the short-range order is equal to or less than 2 nm, and
a lattice constant of the amorphous structure and the lattice constant of the material constituting the substrate are lattice-matched within a range of ±10%.
