| contents | Recently, a signature of high-temperature superconductivity above the liquid nitrogen temperature (77 K) was reported for $La_{3}Ni_{2}O_{7-δ}$ under pressure. This finding immediately stimulated intense interest in the possible mechanism of high-$T_{c}$ superconductivity in double-layer nickelates. Notably, the pressure-dependent phase diagram inferred from transport measurements indicates that the superconductivity under high pressure emerges from the suppression of density-wave-like order at ambient pressure, which is similar to high-temperature superconductors. Here, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of $^{139}La$ nuclei was performed to study the density-wave-like transition in a single crystal of $La_{3}Ni_{2}O_{7-δ}$. At high temperatures, two sets of sharp $^{139}La$ NMR peaks are clearly distinguishable from a broad background signals, which are ascribed to La(1) sites from two bilayer Ruddlesden-Popper phases with different oxygen vacancy $δ$. As the temperature decreases, the temperature-dependent $^{139}La$ NMR spectra and nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate $(1/T_{1}$) for both La(1) sites provide evidence of spin-density-wave (SDW) ordering below the transition temperature ($T_{SDW}$), which is ~ 150 K. The anisotropic splitting in the NMR spectra suggests the formation of a possible double spin stripe with magnetic moments aligned along the c-axis. Furthermore, we studied the pressure-dependent SDW transition up to ~ 2.7 GPa. Surprisingly, the $T_{SDW}$ inferred from NMR measurements of both La(1) sites increases with increasing pressure, which is opposite to the results from previous transport measurements under pressure and suggests an intriguing phase diagram between superconductivity and SDW. All these results will be helpful for building a connection between superconductivity and magnetic interactions in double-layer nickelates. |
