Abstract

We report the effects of Zn substitution for Cu on the superconducting properties of the electron superconductor ${Nd}_{1.85}$ ${Ce}_{0.15}$ ${CuO}_{4 - δ}$ . Detailed comparisons are made to earlier work on Zn substitution effects on the single- ${CuO}_{2}$ -layer hole superconductor ${La}_{1.85}$ ${Sr}_{0.15}$ ${CuO}_{4 - δ}$ . Theoretical implications are discussed briefly.
