One layer at a time : The sequential pulsed‐laser deposition of CaO rock‐salt and CaMnO 3 perovskite layers on an SrTiO 3 substrate allows the growth of the metastable n =4, 5, and 6 members of the Ca n +1 Mn n O 3 n +1 Ruddlesden–Popper series (see high‐resolution TEM image of Ca 5 Mn 4 O 13 ). The growth process is monitored using reflection high‐energy electron diffraction.
