We report magnetoresistive and structural measurements of superconducting FeSe0.5Te0.5 epitaxial thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition. Enhanced onset superconducting transition temperature (similar to 17 K) is observed in some of these films. Structural analysis by x-ray diffraction and high resolution transmission electron microscopy reveal that these films generally have significantly shorter out-of-plane lattice constant c than the bulk value, suggesting that the out-of-plane changes have a dominating impact on the superconducting transition in iron-based superconductors. Our data also indicate that the upper critical field H-c2(0) of those films may reach as high as 50 T.
