Abstract

We present tunneling conductances on electron-doped Pr _0.82LaCe_0.18CuO₄ (PLCCO) single crystals with T_c∼16K that are in overdoped regime. Our data exhibit reproducible superconducting-gap peaks at 4.44±0.71mV and the subgap-shape is cusplike which can be fitted well by using d-wave or nonmonotonic d-wave symmetry, showing that PLCCO is a superconductor with nodal gap. Furthermore, we found that the temperature dependence of the gap magnitude is BCS like and it disappeared at T_c. We conclude that these characteristic features (such as d-wave order parameter and no pseudogap above T_c) of electron-doped cuprates in the overdoped regime are fundamentally similar to those of hole-doped cuprates in the overdoped regime.
