A new misfit layered compound with\nthe stoichiometry\n(EuS)<sub>1+δ</sub>(NbSe<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub> (δ ≈\n0.13)\nhas been successfully synthesized. High-resolution transmission electron\nmicroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction confirm the misfit structure\nwith (EuS)–(EuS) spacing of 18.30(1) Å. Magnetization,\nelectrical resistivity, heat capacity, and thermal transport measurements\nshow that the material is a heavily doped semiconductor or poor metal\nwith a low thermal conductivity of ∼1 W/m K and an antiferromagnetic\nordering transition at <i>T</i><sub>N</sub> = 4.7 K. In\ncontrast to the parent materials, the misfit is neither ferromagnetic\nnor superconducting down to <i>T</i> = 0.4 K. We find evidence\nof a field-driven transition to a ferromagnetic state due to reorientation\nof ferromagnetic EuS layers at μ<sub>o</sub><i>H</i> = 0.5 T at <i>T</i> = 2 K.
