Article Synopsis
- * A photoemission and density-functional theory study was conducted on three compounds to explore how different intercalant elements affect their electronic structures at both the bulk and surface levels.
- * Findings reveal that as the atomic number of the intercalant increases, there’s greater hybridization with NbS-derived conduction states, resulting in the formation of new electronic states at the Fermi level, which explains previously observed anomalous states and sheds light on tuning magnetic interactions.
The transition-metal chalcogenides include some of the most important and ubiquitous families of 2D materials. They host an exceptional variety of electronic and collective states, which can in principle be readily tuned by combining different compounds in van der Waals heterostructures. Achieving this, however, presents a significant materials challenge.

The underlying valley-spin splitting is set by spin-orbit coupling but can be tuned via the application of external magnetic fields or through proximity coupling. However, only modest changes have been realized to date.
