Electronic Raman scattering of the electron doped superconductor Nd_2−xCe_xCuO₄ (x=0.15, T_c=22 K) has revealed a nonmonotonic d_x²−y² superconducting order parameter. It has a maximum gap of 4.4 k_BT_c at the Fermi surface intersection with the antiferromagnetic Brioullin zone (the No-dqhot spotsNo-dq) and a smaller gap of 3.3k_BT_c at the Brioullin zone boundary. The gap enhancement in the viccinity of the hot spots emphasizes the role of antiferromagnetic fluctuations for the origin of superconductivity in the cuprates.
