ABSTRACT
Kondo insulators are expected to transform into metals under a sufficiently strong magnetic field. The closure of the insulating gap stems from the coupling of a magnetic field to the electron spin, yet the required strength of the magnetic field-typically of order 100 T-means that very little is known about this insulator-metal transition. Here we show that Ce[Formula see text]Bi[Formula see text]Pd[Formula see text], owing to its fortuitously small gap, provides an ideal Kondo insulator for this investigation. A metallic Fermi liquid state is established above a critical magnetic field of only [Formula see text] 11 T. A peak in the strength of electronic correlations near [Formula see text], which is evident in transport and susceptibility measurements, suggests that Ce[Formula see text]Bi[Formula see text]Pd[Formula see text] may exhibit quantum criticality analogous to that reported in Kondo insulators under pressure. Metamagnetism and the breakdown of the Kondo coupling are also discussed.
