We report on a large improvement of the thermal stability and mechanical properties of amorphous boron-nitride upon carbon doping. By generating versatile force fields using first-principles and machine learning simulations, we investigate the structural properties of amorphous boron-nitride with varying contents of carbon (from a few percent to 40 at%).

We reveal giant proximity-induced magnetism and valley-polarization effects in Janus Pt dichalcogenides (such as SPtSe), when bound to the europium oxide (EuO) substrate. Using first-principles simulations, it is surprisingly found that the charge redistribution, resulting from proximity with EuO, leads to the formation of two K and K' valleys in the conduction bands.

We evidence the possibility for coherent electrical manipulation of the spin orientation of topologically protected edge states in a low-symmetry quantum spin Hall insulator. By using a combination of ab initio simulations, symmetry-based modeling, and large-scale calculations of the spin Hall conductivity, it is shown that small electric fields can efficiently vary the spin textures of edge currents in monolayer 1T'-WTe2 by up to a 90-degree spin rotation, without jeopardizing their topological character.
