Abstract
The first direct observation of charge order of and by resonant x-ray scattering experiments in an epitaxial film of is reported. A quantitative value of was obtained. The temperature dependence of the charge order deviates significantly from those of the magnetic moment and crystallographic structure. This might be an indication of a difference in their fluctuation time scales. These observations are discussed in terms of the temperature-driven metal-insulator transition in the family.
