contents We explore symmetry-breaking phenomena in MnPS3/TMDC (MoS2, WS2, MoSe2, WSe2) heterostructures using first-principles calculations, considering two high-symmetry stacking configurations, S1 and S2, which differ not only by their interfacial registry but also by a 30° twist between the layers. Depending on the stacking geometry, the systems exhibit two distinct types of nonrelativistic spin splitting (NRSS): S2 hosts altermagnetic-like band crossings, while S1 shows global spin splitting characteristic of symmetry-breaking NRSS. Magnetic exchange and anisotropy parameters indicate that the intrinsic magnetic properties of MnPS3 are largely preserved upon interfacing. Including spin-orbit coupling, we find tunable conduction-valley splitting controlled by the MnPS3 spin orientation. Our results identify MnPS3 as a symmetry-tunable antiferromagnetic substrate capable of inducing and controlling spin and valley effects in 2D heterostructures without relying on net magnetization or strong SOC, offering a route toward nonvolatile valleytronic functionalities.
