The domain structures and dislocations in epitaxial thin films of La
0.7Ca
0.3MnO
3 grown on SrTiO
3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition were investigated using transmission electron microscopy. It revealed that the films contained the
and
types partial threading dislocations, the 90°- and 120°-types of twin-domain boundaries, and two types
,
, of
antiphase boundaries, which are often observed in bulk materials. In addition, two types of superdislocations were detected; one consisted of two
dislocations and a
antiphase boundary, and the other was composed of two
dislocations and a
antiphase boundary. These superdislocations, domain boundaries, and their relationships were extensively explored.
