In this article, we studied the role of oxygen in Pr$_{2}$CuO$_{4pmdelta}$ thin films fabricated by polymer assisted deposition method. The magnetoresistance and Hall resistivity of Pr$_{2}$CuO$_{4pmdelta}$ samples were systematically investigated. It is found that with decreasing the oxygen content, the low-temperature Hall coefficient ($R_H$) and magnetoresistance change from negative to positive, similar to those with the increase of Ce-doped concentration in R$_{2-x}$Ce$_{x}$CuO$_{4}$ (R= La, Nd, Pr, Sm, Eu). In addition, $T_c$ versus $R_H$ for both Pr$_{1-x}$LaCe$_{x}$CuO$_{4}$ and Pr$_{2}$CuO$_{4pmdelta}$ samples can coincide with each other. We conclude that the doped electrons induced by the oxygen removal are responsible for the superconductivity of $T^prime$-phase parent compounds.

For both electron- and hole-doped cuprates, superconductivity appears in the vicinity of suppressed broken symmetry order, suggesting that quantum criticality plays a vital role in the physics of these systems. A confounding factor in identifying the role of quantum criticality in the electron-doped systems is the competing influence of chemical doping and oxygen stoichiometry. Using high quality thin films of Pr$_{2}$CuO$_{4pmdelta}$, we tune superconductivity and uncover the influence of quantum criticality without Ce substitution. We observe magnetic quantum oscillations that are consistent with the presence of small hole-like Fermi surface pockets, and a large mass enhancement near the suppression of superconductivity. Tuning these materials using only oxygen stoichiometry allows the observation of quantum oscillations and provides a new axis with which to explore the physics underlying the electron-doped side of the cuprate phase diagram.
We find an unambiguous relationship between disorder-driven features in the temperature dependence of the resistance and the behavior, as functions of the temperature, of the parameters necessary to describe some of the relaxation processes in the ph otoinduced differential time-resolved reflectivity of three samples of Nd$_{1.83}$Ce$_{0.17}$CuO$_{4pmdelta}$. The latter, sharing the same Ce content, have been fabricated and annealed ad-hoc in order to differ only for the degree of disorder, mainly related to oxygen content and location, and, consequently, for the temperature dependence of the resistance: two of them present a minimum in the resistance and behave as a superconductor and as a metal, respectively, the third behaves as an insulator. The systematic coherence between the resistance and the relaxation parameters behaviors in temperature for all three samples is absolutely remarkable and shows that pump-probe measurements can be extremely sensitive to disorder as it drives the emergence of new excitations and of the related relaxation channels as in this paradigmatic case.
Nd$_{2-x}$Ce$_x$CuO$_{4pmdelta}$ (NCCO) epitaxial thin films have been deposited on (100) SrTiO$_3$ substrates by DC sputtering technique in different atmosphere. The as-grown samples show different dependence of the in-plane resistivity at low tempe rature, when they are grown in pure argon atmosphere or in oxygen. Moreover, an unusual behaviour is also found when transport takes place in the presence of an external magnetic field. It is commonly accepted that the higher anisotropic properties of NCCO crystalline cell with respect to the hole doped YBCO and LSCO and the electric conduction mainly confined in the CuO$_2$ plane, strongly support the two-dimensional (2D) character of the current transport in this system. Results on the temperature dependence of the resistance, as well as on the magnetoresistance and the Hall coefficient, obtained on epitaxial NCCO thin films in the over-doped region ($xge0.15$) of the phase diagram are presented and discussed.

The techniques of growing films with different parameters in single process make it possible to build up a sample library promptly. In this work, with a precisely controlled moving mask, we synthetized superconducting La2-xCexCuO4+/-{delta} combinato rial films on one SrTiO3 substrate with the doping levels from x = 0.1 to 0.19. The monotonicity in doping along the designed direction is verified by micro-region x-ray diffraction and electric transport measurements. More importantly, by means of numerical simulation, the real change of doping levels is in accordance with a linear gradient variation of doping levels in the La2-xCexCuO4+/-{delta} combinatorial films. Our results indicate that it is promising to accurately investigate materials with critical composition by combinatorial film technique.
We performed systematic angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements $in$-$situ$ on $T$-${rm La}_{2-x}{rm Ce}_xrm {CuO}_{4pmdelta}$ (LCCO) thin films over the extended doping range prepared by the refined ozone/vacuum annealing method. Elec tron doping level ($n$), estimated from the measured Fermi surface volume, varies from 0.05 to 0.23, which covers the whole superconducting dome. We observed an absence of the insulating behavior around $n sim$ 0.05 and the Fermi surface reconstruction shifted to $n sim$ 0.11 in LCCO compared to that of other electron-doped cuprates at around 0.15, suggesting that antiferromagnetism is strongly suppressed in this material. The possible explanation may lie in the enhanced -$t$ /$t$ in LCCO for the largest $rm{La^{3+}}$ ionic radius among all the Lanthanide elements.
