Extreme environments enable the discovery of atypical phases with enhanced properties and their transition mechanisms. Boron subnitride is a promising alternative to boron carbide/suboxide; however, its development is severely hampered by its long-standing unresolved crystal structure.

The recent discovery of light-tunable intrinsic ferromagnetism in two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals crystals has opened up a new arena for spintronics. However, the underlying mechanism is still under debate. Here, we performed excited-state density functional theory (DFT) calculations for optical manipulation of magnetism in monolayered CrX3 (X = Cl, Br, I).
