The paper identifies a gap in understanding how quantum confinement affects the upper critical field in superconducting materials. It notes that the violation of the Pauli limit is often associated with unconventional pairing symmetry, but this association is difficult without knowledge of the g-factor. The paper highlights the need to consider the impact of quantum confinement on the g-factor in layered materials.
