One of the central questions in the cuprate research is the nature of the ‘normal state’ which develops into high temperature superconductivity (HTSC). In the normal state of hole-doped cuprates, the existence of charge density wave (CDW) is expected to shed light on the mechanism of HTSC. With evidence emerging for CDW order in the electron-doped cuprates, the CDW would be thought to be a universal phenomenon in high-T_c cuprates. However, the CDW phenomena in electron-doped cuprate are quite different than those in hole-doped cuprates. Here we study the nature of the putative CDW in an electron-doped cuprate through direct comparisons between as-grown and post-annealed Nd_1.86Ce_0.14CuO₄ (NCCO) single crystals using Cu L₃-edge resonant soft x-ray scattering (RSXS) and angleresolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). The RSXS result reveals that the non-superconducting NCCO shows the same reflections at the wavevector (~1/4, 0, l) as like the reported superconducting NCCO. This superconductivity-insensitivesignal is quite different with the characteristics of the CDW reflection in hole-doped cuprates. Moreover, the ARPES result suggests that the fermiology cannot account for such wavevector. Furthermore, these results call into question the universality of CDW phenomenon in the cuprates.
