We present experimental results for the in-plane resistivity of the electron-doped cuprate superconductorabove its transition temperatureas a function of Ce dopingand temperature. For the dopingbetween 0.11 and 0.17, wherevaries from 30 K () to 5 K (), we find that the resistivity shows abehavior for all values of doping over the measurement range from 70 to 250 K. The coefficient of theresistivity term decreases with increasingfollowing the trend in. We analyze our data theoretically and posit that-type cuprates are better thought of as strange metals. Although the quadratic temperature dependence appears to be in naive agreement with the Fermi-liquid (FL) expectations, the facts that the measured resistivity is large and approximatescattering dominates the resistivity even up to 400 K argue against a standard normal-metal FL picture being applicable. We discuss possible origins of the strange-metal behavior.
