The magnetoresistance and Hall resistivity of Pr2 CuO_(4±δ) samples were systematically investigated. It was found that with decreasing oxygen content, the low-temperature Hall coefficient(RH) and magnetoresistance changed from negative to positive, similar to those with the increase of Ce-doped concentration in R_(2-x)Ce_x CuO_4 (R = La, Nd, Pr, Sm, Eu). In addition, we observed that the dependence of the superconducting critical temperature Tc with RH for the Pr_(2-x) Ce_x CuO_4 perfectly overlapped with that of Pr_2 CuO_(4±δ) . These findings point to the fact that the doped electrons induced by the oxygen removal are responsible for the superconductivity of the T-phase parent compounds.展开更多
