• Abstract: Recently, the negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center has emerged as a robust and versatile quantum sensor in pressurized environments. There are two popular ways to implement NV sensing in a diamond anvil cell (DAC), which is a conventional workhorse in the high-pressure community: create implanted NV centers (INVs) at the diamond anvil tip or immerse NV-enriched nano-diamonds (NDs) in the pressure medium. Nonetheless, there are limited studies on comparing the local stress environments experienced by these sensor types as well as their performances as pressure gauges. In this work, by probing the NV energy levels with the optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) method, we experimentally reveal a dramatic difference in the partially reconstructed stress tensors of INVs and NDs incorporated in the same DAC. Our measurement results agree with computational simulations, concluding that INVs perceive a more non-hydrostatic environment dominated by a uniaxial stress along the DAC axis. This provides insights on the suitable choice of NV sensors for specific purposes and the stress distribution in a DAC. We further propose some possible methods, such as using NDs and nanopillars, to extend the maximum working pressure of quantum sensing based on ODMR spectroscopy, since the maximum working pressure could be restricted by non-hydrostaticity of the pressure environment. Moreover, we explore more sensing applications of the NV center by studying how pressure modifies different aspects of the NV system. We perform a photoluminescence study using both INVs and NDs to determine the pressure dependence of the zero-phonon line, which helps developing an all-optical pressure sensing protocol with the NV center. We also characterize the spin-lattice relaxation ($T_1$) time of INVs under pressure to lay a foundation for robust pulsed measurements with NV centers in pressurized environments.
