23. To reproduce the linear increase in the magnetization curve between H c 1 and H c 2, we had to assume that the sample is heated during the experiment. The heating is likely due to the magnetocaloric effect, evidenced by the smeared anomaly at H c 2 (see the upper panel of Fig. 2 in Ref.). Static-field measurements at isothermal conditions will be helpful to clarify this issue.
