We report the results of the study by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of intercalated compound Cr 1/3 TiTe 2 . In the range of binding energies up to 6 eV we obtained band mapping along ⌫ -M, ⌫ -MЈ, and M -K directions of the Brillouin zone. It was established that electronic structure of TiTe 2 changes substantially under the inclusion of Cr. An additional, essentially dispersionless band appears at ϳ1 eV below the Fermi level. Band structure calculations allow one to interpret this band as being due to the Cr3d-Ti3d mixed states. An almost dispersionless character of this band allows one to presume a polaronlike nature of Cr-Ti mixed states.
