“…Despite this fact, continuous efforts have been devoted to extracting this basic parameter, through resistive transport, magnetization, and other kinds of experiments. [2][3][4][5][6] Comparing with hole-doped counterparts, anisotropic properties of electron-doped cuprates Ln 2−x Ce x CuO 4−δ (Ln = Nd, Pr, ...) have been less studied and controversial results exist. For instance, an early work in Nd 2−x Ce x CuO 4−δ (NCCO) reported a large γ of 21, 7 while subsequent magnetization measurement in aligned Sm 1.85 Ce 0.15 CuO 4−δ (SCCO) powders gave a low γ of 3.7 and suggested that previous report might be an overestimate due to the inaccuracy in determining the H ab c2 .…”
