Quantum degrees of freedom, such as spin or valleys, lie at the basis of many intriguing phenomena. In this theory work, the authors present a new type of spin-valley locking enabled by a crystalline symmetry, which allows for the generation of valley polarizations and net magnetization via strain, and non-collinear spin currents via charge currents.
