Abstract

A mean field calculation of the T0T\to 0 limit of the Hall conductance of electron-doped cuprates such as Pr2xCexCuO4+δPr_{2-x}Ce_xCuO_{4+\delta} is presented. The data are found to be qualitatively consistent with the reconstruction of the Fermi surface expected upon density wave ordering. The magnitude of the density wave gap is found to be large. The Hall resistance exhibits a nonanalyticity at the quantum critical point for density wave ordering, but the amplitude of the anomaly is found to be unobservably small. The quantum critical contribution to RH(B)R_H(B) is determined. Quantitative discrepancies between calculation and data remain, suggesting that the experimental doping is not identical to the CeCe concentration xx.
