Calculated shift current onset energy Inline graphic, maximum shift current susceptibility σMax, maximum Glass coefficient GMax, polarization P and Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof (HSE) hybrid functional bandgap Inline graphic of the layered and rock salt PNT. ΔE (meV per atom) is the relative stability of different cation arrangements that have the same composition. PbTiO3 values are also shown for comparison. Maximum values are for energies smaller than 3.0 eV (E<4.0 eV for PbTiO3).
