✦ Synopsis

In magnetic fields up to 61 T, magnetotransport measurements on the Kondo insulator, Ce3Bi4Pt3, find dramatic decreases in resisitivity and increases in electron density for temperatures below ~ 15 K. The data sugggst that the magnetic field collapses a small ( ~ 37 K) energy gap, yielding metallic behavior for B>50 T.
