Second-order phase transition of silicon from a band insulator to metal induced by strong magnetic fields

We present the second-order phase transition from a band insulator to metal that is induced by a strong magnetic field. The magnetic-field dependences of the magnetization and energy band gap of a crystalline silicon immersed in a magnetic field are investigated by means of the nonperturbative magne...
