Abstract

From measurements of the magnetic penetration depth, lambda(T), from 1.6 K to T-c in films of electron-doped cuprates La2-xCexCuO4-y and Pr2-xCexCuO4-y we obtain the normalized density of states, N-s(E) at T=0 by using a simple model. In this framework, the flat behavior of lambda(-2)(T) at low T implies N-s(E) is small, possibly gapped, at low energies. The upward curvature in lambda(-2)(T) near T-c seen in overdoped films implies that superfluid comes from an anomalously small energy band within about 3k(B)T(c) of the Fermi surface.
