We prepared thin films of La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 on different substrates with DC sputtering. The measured transport and magnetic properties could be explained by a lattice mismatch induced by the substrate. Hall effect measurements showed a holelike charge carrier density n*h = 1.3 per unit cell below TC. The magnetoresistance results from an increase of the mobility of the charge carriers in magnetic field.
