13. The Gd thickness measured in this work is different than previously assumed, necessitating a 4/3 rescaling of the SM axis. Thus, for a H of 3 T, we report revised values of SM 4.6 J kg-1 K-1, and RCP 320 J kg-1 for the sample discussed in Ref..

18. Note that this result is not contingent on the calculated value of Gd, as even if the complex Gd is treated as a free parameter, constraining mGd to be constant with depth results in a significant decrease in fit quality.
