Table S1. The Miller indices corresponding to the X-ray diffraction peaks of LaxCa3-xMn2O7

a The experimental d values.

b The calculated Miller indices based on thedexp values and the lattice spacing formula. The space group was set to be I4/mmm, and the lattice spacing formula was.

cThe quasi d values calculated in turn based on the obtained lattice parameters and Miller indices.

The dcal values were consistent with the dexp values substantially, demonstrating that the space group and lattice parameters were set appropriately.
