Popis: The relationships between incommensurability, charge ordering and magnetic and electric transport properties were studied in La0.33Ca0.67Mn1−yFeyO3 (0≤y≤0.06) polycrystalline samples. Incommensurability and charge ordering were directly observed by electron diffraction versus temperature and lattice imaging at low temperature in transmission electron microscopy. Both the charge ordering and the ferromagnetic Curie–Weiss temperature linearly decrease with increasing Fe concentration y. A mean field analysis yields an antiferromagnetic exchange J(Mn–Fe) = −22 K. The undoped samples showed predominantly a commensurate charge ordering superstructure with q-vector 1/3a* over the whole temperature range
