Abstract

). The material undergoes a first-order reversible phase transition at 357 K/321 K and exhibits thermally induced reversible "on-off" SHG switching characteristics along with switchable dielectric behavior, as well as a direct band gap of 2.76 eV. This provides a new approach for the development of nonlinear optical switches, dielectric switching devices, and ultraviolet photodetectors.
