Fig. 4: Charge reordering of distinct correlated insulators.

a Reordering time constant (τ_r) for ν = −1 and ν = −2 as a function of fluence. Here, τ_r was extracted based on considering the recovery as a first order process (mono-exponential functional form, inset in a). The black line for ν = −1 shows the linear fit trend line for τ_r as a function of fluence. The dotted black line for ν = −2 shows the linear interpolation between data points to highlight the data trend. b Effective reordering time constant (τ_{r, eff}) for ν = −2 as a function of fluence. Here, τ_{r, eff} was extracted based on considering the recovery for ν = −2 as a second order process (inset in b). The black line shows the linear fit for τ_{r, eff} as a function of fluence. Throughout the figure, all error bars indicate 99% confidence intervals. Large circle outlines have been added to aid with data visualization. The fluence-dependent shaded colors for the ν = −1, −2 states are consistent with the data shown elsewhere in the text. See the Methods section for further details and Supplementary Fig. 10 for plots of k_r (= 1/τ_r).
