In the chiral helimagnet Cr1/3NbS2, spin moments localized at Cr sites are believed to play a passive role in the material’s electronic and transport properties. Here, this interpretation is challenged by experimental observation of hybridization between local magnetic moments and itinerant electrons, and changes in the electronic structure with the onset of magnetism.
