Abstract

The recently discovered superconductivity with critical temperature TcT_c up to 80 K in the double-layer Nickelate La3_3Ni2_2O7δ_{7-\delta} under pressure has drawn great attention. Here we report the positive muon spin relaxation (μ+\mu^+SR) study of polycrystalline La3_3Ni2_2O6.92_{6.92} under ambient pressure. Zero-field μ+\mu^+SR experiments reveal the existence of magnetic order in La3_3Ni2_2O6.92_{6.92} with TN=154 KT_{N}=154\ \rm{K}. The weak transverse field μ+\mu^+SR measurements confirms the bulk nature of magnetism. In addition, a small quantity of oxygen deficiencies can greatly broaden the internal magnetic field distribution sensed by muons.
