Comment on ''the controlled charge ordering and evidence of the metallic state in Pr_(0.65)Ca_(0.35)MnO₃ films''

In a recent paper (2000 \QTR{it}{J. Phys.: Condens. Matter} \QTR{bf}{12} L133) Lee \QTR{it}{et al.} have studied the transport properties of Pr$_{0.65}$Ca$_{0.35}$MnO$_{3}$ thin films. They claimed that they are able to controlled the charge-ordered (CO) state by the lattice strains. We propose herein another alternative since another indexation of the orientation of the film can be found leading to almost no distortion of the cell, as compared to the bulk compound.
