Above Room Temperature Reversible Phase Transition Induces Distinct Dielectric and Nonlinear Optical Switching Response Behavior in Crown-Ether-Based Supramolecular Clathrate

Stimuli-responsive materials with coexisting nonlinear optical (NLO) and dielectric properties are technologically important, which enable simultaneous conversion of optoelectronic properties between different states under external stimuli. By rationally screening guest cations (C<sub>6</su...
