Despite intense efforts on all known quasi-two-dimensional superconductors, the origin and exact boundary of the electronic orderings, particularly charge density waves and superconductivity, are still attractive problems with several open questions. Here, in order to reveal how the superconducting gap evolves, we report on high quality complementary measurements of magneto-optical imaging, specific heat, magnetic susceptibility, resistivity measurements, Andreev spectroscopy, and London penetration depth λab(T) measurements supplemented with theoretical calculations for 2H-NbSe2 and 2H-NbS2 single crystals. The temperature dependence of λab(T) calculated from the lower critical field and Andreev spectroscopy can be well described by using a two-band model with s-wave-like gaps. The effect of pressure on the superconducting gap of both systems illustrates that both bands are practically affected. Upon compression, the Fermi surfaces do not change significantly, and the nesting remains almost unaffected compared to that at ambient condition. However, a strong bending in the upper critical fields (Hc2) curves is obtained under pressure and support the presence of a strong Pauli paramagnetic effect. In NbSe2, using a two-band model with s-wave-like gaps, the temperature dependence Hc2(T) can be properly described. In contrast to that, the behavior of Hc2 for NbS2 is ruled by the spin paramagnetic effect. The estimated values of the penetration depth at T=0K confirm that NbSe2 and NbS2 superconductors depart from a Uemura-style relationship between Tc with λab-2(T), the in-plane superconducting penetration depth.
