Here, we show that crystallographic orientation in CrSBr\/MnSBr heterojunctions provides atomic-scale control over contact type, the direction of the built-in electric field, interfacial charge transfer, and spin-dependent photocurrent. Using density functional theory and non-equilibrium Green function transport simulations, we compare lateral (x- and y-type) and vertical (z-type) interfaces. Lateral heterojunctions form low-barrier n-type or p-type Ohmic contacts through strong interfacial hybridization. In contrast, the vertical configuration yields a Schottky barrier due to weak van der Waals coupling. These orientation-dependent contacts translate directly into distinct quantum transport and rectification behaviors. Under illumination, the heterostructures exhibit strongly anisotropic, spin-polarized photocurrents with pronounced spectral selectivity: parallel magnetic configurations show a pronounced photoresponse in the infrared, while antiparallel configurations are selectively responsive in the ultraviolet. These results establish two fundamental design principles\u2014interface dimensionality dictates Ohmic versus Schottky character and magnetic configuration controls infrared\/ultraviolet spectral selectivity\u2014unlocking a new degree of freedom for programmable spin-optoelectronic devices beyond conventional vertical heterostructures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1021\/acsami.6c08112","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,8]],"date-time":"2026-08-08T12:01:49Z","timestamp":1786190509000},"page":"44148-44156","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Crystallographic Orientation Controls Contact and Spin-Photoresponse in 2D Magnetic Heterostructures"],"prefix":"10.1021","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Mengyu","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hangzhou Institute for Advanced Study, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences , , ,","place":["Hangzhou,, China, 310024"]},{"name":"Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences , , ,","place":["Shanghai,, China, 200083"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7773-1133","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Shaowen","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hangzhou Institute for Advanced Study, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences , , ,","place":["Hangzhou,, China, 310024"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiehao","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hangzhou Institute for Advanced Study, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences , , ,","place":["Hangzhou,, China, 310024"]},{"name":"Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences , , ,","place":["Shanghai,, China, 200083"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yufeng","family":"Shan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hangzhou Institute for Advanced Study, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences , , ,","place":["Hangzhou,, China, 310024"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9645-8395","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Fanhao","family":"Jia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hangzhou Dianzi University , , ,","place":["Hangzhou, China, 310018"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ning","family":"Dai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hangzhou Institute for Advanced Study, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences , , ,","place":["Hangzhou,, China, 310024"]},{"name":"Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences , , ,","place":["Shanghai,, China, 200083"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"316","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,8]]},"reference":[{"issue":"7729","key":"2026081905143368800_cit1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"47","DOI":"10.1038\/s41586-018-0631-z","article-title":"Magnetism in two-dimensional van der Waals materials","volume":"563","author":"Burch","year":"2018","journal-title":"Nature"},{"issue":"5","key":"2026081905143368800_cit2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/adma.202405358","article-title":"Synthesis of Highly Anisotropic 2D Insulator CrOCl Nanosheets for Interfacial Symmetry Breaking in Isotropic 2D Semiconductors","volume":"37","author":"Tang","year":"2025","journal-title":"Adv.
