Correlated characterization of La3Ni2O7–δ in DACs. (a) The La3Ni2O7–δ and La2PrNi2O7 samples are wrapped in the pressure transmitting medium (PTM; silicone oil or KBr) inside the DAC sample chamber. Correlated measurements of NV-based quantum sensing and Raman spectra are performed to reveal the pressure gradient, magnetic distribution and vibration mode of the samples. This provides a direct method to study the Meissner effect of superconductors under pressure. For in situ magnetic field and pressure measurement, diamond anvils ([111]-crystal cut) with a layer of shallow NV centers are used, and a gold antenna is placed between the anvil culet and the PTM to transmit the microwave signal. (b) Bright-field image of the diamond culet after loading sample A with 20 GPa. The sample is outlined by a white dashed line.
