Abstract

We have discovered 24 K-superconductivity in a family of compounds Ln2−xCexCuO4−y (Ln=Pr, Nd, Sm). Novel feature of the superconductivity in these family of compounds is that superconductivity is produced by electron-doping in sharp contrast with high-Tc cuprates discovered so far. The effect of doping on physical properties particularly the elecronic phase diagram and transport coefficients which indicate symmetry in many respects between electron- and hole- doping is described.
