a and c TF-μSR spectra collected above and below Tc for CsV3Sb5 with Bext∣∣c and Bext∣∣ab, respectively. The fast damping of the signal in the superconducting state reflects the inhomogeneous field distribution sensed by the muon ensemble as a result of vortex formation. Solid lines through the data points are fits using Eq. (5) in the Suppl. Inset: Scheme of the setup for μSR experiments on a single crystalline CsV3Sb5 sample. b and d show the Fourier spectra obtained by fast Fourier transformation of the spectra in a and c, respectively. The inset shows the spatial field variation within a flux line lattice of an anisotropic superconductor with an anisotropy parameter γλ ≃ 3, as explained in detail in Refs. 72,75. The cutoff at low fields corresponds to the minimum in P(B) occurring at the midpoint of three adjacent vortices (\({B}_{\min }\)). The peak in P(B) arises from the saddle point midway between two adjacent vortices (Bsaddle), whereas the long tail towards high fields is due to the region around the vortex cores (\({B}_{\max }\)). e Temperature variation of the square-root of the second moment of field distribution σ(T) [\(\sigma ={M}_{2}^{1/2}\)], as measured for the two applied field directions. The horizontal lines denote the relaxation due to nuclear magnetic moments along the two directions. f Internal magnetic field as a function of temperature in the superconducting state. A clear diamagnetic shift, an immanent feature of type-II superconductors, can be seen. g Temperature variation of the skewness parameter, \({\alpha }_{{{{\rm{sk}}}}}={M}_{3}^{1/3}/{M}_{2}^{1/2}\), for the Bext∣∣c and Bext∣∣ab set of experiments. The error bars represent the SD of the fit parameters.
