We report polarization-resolved magnetic and electronic Raman scattering of the intercalated transition metal dichalcogenide V1/3NbS2, proposed as a Weyl semimetal [1,2]. The electronic scattering reveals a linear with frequency continuum of excitations, as the signature of electronic transitions within the proposed Weyl nodes in a 2D electronic structure [3]. Additionally, two-magnon excitations of V moments are observed near 15 meV in the magnetically ordered phase below 50 K[3], which are well reproduced by calculations using spin wave exchange parameters [4] and confirm the antiferromagnetic character of the order. These magnetic and electronic scattering, observed in the same spectra, provide independent spectroscopic evidence for a collinear antiferromagnetic Weyl semimetal state in V1/3NbS2.
