Evolution in the split-peak structure across the Peak Effect region in single crystals of 2H-NbSe₂

We have explored the presence of a two-peak feature spanning the peak effect (PE) region in the ac susceptibility data and the magnetization hysteresis measurements over a wide field-temperature regime in few weakly pinned single crystals of $2H$-NbSe$_2$, which display reentrant characteristic in the PE curve near $T_c$(0). We believe that the two-peak feature evolves into distinct second magnetization peak anomaly well separated from the PE with gradual enhancement in the quenched random pinning.
