Thresholdless behavior and linearity of the optically induced metallization of NbO_{2}

The optical excitation of NbO_{2} is known to induce a transient metallicity that partially recovers on a subpicosecond speed and only fully recovers after several nanoseconds. Here, through low-fluence pump-probe spectroscopy, the short-lived and long-lived components of NbO_{2}’s optically induced...
