The van der Waals ferromagnet Fe3−xGeTe2 is a fascinating material that attracts combined strong interest from magnetoelectronics as well as from strong correlation physics. While near room temperature, the possibilities to exfoliate conducting ferromagnetic layers is investigated, at temperatures below T∼ 100 K the system displays surprising signatures of heavy-fermion physics. By means of first-principles many-body calculations, we here show that the latter temperature regime is governed by a rare orbital-selective Mott phase. This leads to emergent Kondo(-lattice) behavior in an unique transition-metal 3d compound, accompanied by antiferromagnetic fluctuations within the ferromagnetic phase. These fluctuations are experimentally revealed by neutron scattering.
