3d-atom intercalated transition metal dichalcogenides present complex behaviour due to the interplay between localized and itinerant electrons. Here, the authors investigate Cr1/3NbS2 and Mn1/3NbS2, revealing that Hund’s coupling and orbital hybridization significantly alter electronic structures, inducing strong spin polarization and anomalous changes in the density of states at the Fermi level.
