Effects of Disorder on the Normal State of Pr$_{2-x}$Ce$_{x}$CuO$_{4-\delta}$

We present a study on epitaxial thin films of the electron-doped superconducting cuprate Pr$_{2-x}$Ce$_{x}$CuO$_{4-\delta }$ (PCCO) as a function of disorder and oxygen content. Overdoped samples (x = 0.17, 0.19) were made using a pulsed laser deposition technique. Oxygen content was adjusted during the annealing process and disorder was induced by proton irradiation. The evolution of the resistivity and the Hall coefficient is examined, with a focus placed on the normal state properties in the regime T $<$ T$_{c}$ and H $>$ H$_{c2}$. Results are compared between optimally prepared, oxygenated, and irradiated samples.
