10. As near TC0, d TC d (μ0 H) ∼1 K T, these field amplitudes introduce a TC shift large enough to avoid the effect of TC inhomogeneities above TC0 (Ref.). This simple procedure could not be used by PBS due to the limitations of their magnetometer (Ref.).
11. The 0.6 mT field used in the measurements shifts the temperature at which the sample enters in the Meissner state T C1 (H), by ∼H (d H C1 dT) TC0 75 mK, where H C1 = H C2 ln κ 2 κ2, is the lower critical magnetic field for Hab. This shift leads to a transition broadening of the same extent because between T C1 (H) and T C2 (H) TC0, the samples passes through the mixed state. This shift is more pronounced when Hab, due to the smaller lower critical field for this direction.

14. It has been reported that the upper critical fields of 2H-Nb Se2 present a slightly positive curvature near TC0 (see, e.g., Ref.). In fact, our H c2, (T) curves extrapolate linearly to a temperature somewhat below TC0. This effect, which is characteristic of anisotropic LTSC's, has been explained in terms of the combined effect of the gap anisotropy and nonlocality [see, e.g., D. W. Youngner and R. A. Klemm, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.21.3890 21, 3890 (1980), and references therein].
