Gm. Zhao et De. Morris, SIZABLE OXYGEN-ISOTOPE EFFECTS IN THE ELECTRON-DOPED PR1.85CE0.15CUO4-Y, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 50(5), 1994, pp. 3454-3457
Oxygen isotope effects have been investigated in the electron-doped Pr
1.85Ce0.15CuO4-y. We find the exponent of oxygen isotope effect alpha(
O) = 0.08 +/- 0.01. The sizable oxygen isotope effect in this electron
-doped system indicates that the electron-phonon interaction plays an
important role in the pairing mechanism.
