摘要：

The tunneling spectra of the electron-doped cuprate Pr2-xCexCuO4-delta as a function of doping and temperature are reported. We find that the superconducting gap, Delta, shows a BCS-type temperature dependence even for extremely low carrier concentrations. Moreover, Delta follows the doping dependence of T-c, in strong contrast with tunneling studies of the hole-doped cuprates. From our results we conclude that there is a single superconducting energy scale in the electron-doped cuprates.
