abstract = {Multiband superconductivity emerges when multiple
electronic bands contribute to the formation of the
superconducting state, allowing for distinct pairing
mechanisms and complex gap structures, leading to rich
physics that extends beyond single-band superconductivity.
The layered superconductor 2H-NbSe₂, known for its
multiband characteristics, provides a compelling platform to
explore these phenomena. This study aims to resolve the
nature of superconductivity in 2H-NbSe₂ by employing
small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) to investigate the
field- and temperature-dependent vortex lattice structure in
2H-NbSe₂.Using SANS, we measured the form factor of the
magnetic field in the vortex lattice, gaining microscopic
insight into the bulk superconducting state. Field- and
temperature-dependent data reveal a significant degree of
interband coupling, with clear evidence of two distinct
superconducting bands. At low temperatures and fields, the
two gaps are 13.1 and 6.5 K (∆0 = 1.88 and 0.94 kBTc);
with the larger gap band contributing approximately
two-thirds of the superfluid density. Notably, the vortex
lattice signal from one band is suppressed at fields well
below Bc2 , underscoring the distinct roles of the two
bands. The zero-field and zero-temperature penetration depth
is extrapolated to be 160 nm [1].These findings not only
provide critical insights into the multiband nature of
2H-NbSe₂ but also highlight the intricate role of
interband coupling in shaping its vortex lattice properties
and superconducting behavior. This study contributes to the
broader debate on multiband superconductivity, offering
quantitative evidence to refine theoretical models.[1] A.
