Abstract

We have investigated the magnetism and the superconductivity of an electron-doped PrLaCeCuO (PLCCO) using single crystal and powder samples by means of zero-field muon spin rotation/relaxation (ZF-SR) and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Muon spin rotation corresponding to antiferromagnetic (AF) order was observed in the sample with 0.04{\it x}0.11. Changes in magnetic properties of Cu spins upon Ce doping were revealed because the effect of the rare earth moment was negligible. Bulk superconductivity was identified in a wide Ce concentration range of 0.09{\it x}0.20 with a maximum transition temperature of 26 K. At low temperatures, the superconducting (SC) phase abruptly appears by doping with linking quick destroy of the AF ordered phase at {\it x}0.09, indicating the competitive relation between two phases.
