Fig. 5. For pressure 166 GPa, the black points are raw data from Ref.
Fig. 6. For pressure 178 GPa, the black points are raw data from Ref.
Fig. 7. For pressure 189 GPa, the black points are raw data from Ref.
Fig. 8. For pressure 160 GPa, the black points are raw data from Ref.
Fig. 9. For pressure 182 GPa, the black points are raw data from Ref.
Fig. 10. Susceptibility measurements in diamond anvil cells for (a) yttrium under pressure, from Fig. 1 of Ref.
Fig. 11. (a) Susceptibility measurements for (a) platinum hydride under pressure, from Fig. 2 of Ref.
Fig. 12. For small temperature intervals for pressures 166 and 189 GPa, respectively, (b) and (d) show data (green points), raw data (black points), and background signal (red points). (a) and (c) show the data with the vertical scale amplified to clearly reveal the fine structure.
Fig. 13. Comparison of fine structure in the raw data (black points) and background signal (red points). The lower red curves are identical to the upper red curves, shifted downward to facilitate comparison with the fine structure in the black curves for temperatures below the drops. The ordinate gives the voltage in nanovolts.
Fig. 14. Comparison of susceptibility increments (in nV) for neighboring points in temperature between raw data (black points) and data (green points). All values have been obtained from the tables in Ref.
Fig. 15. For pressure 160 GPa, the left panel shows susceptibility increments for raw data (black points) and background signal obtained through Eq.
Fig. 16. Raw data, data, and background signal inferred by subtraction, obtained from the numerical values reported in Table 5 of Ref.
Fig. 17. (a) Susceptibility data (“Superconducting Signal”) for CSH at a pressure 160 GPa, from the numerical data of Table 5 of Ref.
Fig. 18. (a) Quantized component of susceptibility data (“Superconducting Signal”) for CSH at a pressure 160 GPa. (b) Difference between neighboring points of (a) divided by 0.165 55. (c) and (d) Data of (a) on an enlarged scale.
