Abstract

A careful analysis of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy images from La0.8Ca0.2MnO3 thin films indicates that the images can not explained based on either the classical Pnma structure or its monoclinic distortion. A cation ordered structure is proposed which could be responsible for the significantly higher Tc of the film (298K) compared with the bulk material of the same composition (190K).
