Unidirectional Kondo scattering in layered NbS2
Abstract Crystalline defects can modify quantum interactions in solids, causing unintuitive, even favourable, properties such as quantum Hall effect or superconducting vortex pinning. Here we present another example of this notion—an unexpected unidirectional Kondo scattering in single crystals of 2...

The anomaly can be suppressed by the c-axis-oriented magnetic field, but is unaffected by field applied along the planes.
