  "abstract": "Two-dimensional layered magnetic materials offer a versatile platform for exploring low-dimensional magnetism and coupled many-body interactions in these materials. Chromium sulfur bromide (CrSBr) is a promising candidate for advanced spintronic and optoelectronic applications because of its intrinsic air stability, semiconducting nature, strong in-plane anisotropy, and A-type antiferromagnetic ordering. This review summarizes recent advances in the understanding of the layer-dependent vibrational and excitonic properties of CrSBr, as well as its magneto-optical response, from bulk crystals to the monolayer limit. We examined its crystal structure, magnetic anisotropy, and interlayer spin reorientation, followed by insights into vibrational dynamics and spin-phonon coupling. Particular emphasis is placed on the excitonic landscape, including magnetic-field-sensitive photoluminescence, localized excitonic states, and the coexistence of Frenkel- and Wannier-Mott excitons in the bandgap. Finally, we discuss the challenges and prospects of harnessing the unique layer-dependent properties of CrSBr in spintronic, magneto-optical, and quantum photonic technologies.",
