Introduction

Quantum oscillations characterize carriers in β-Bi₄I₄ before and beyond the extreme quantum limit. A metal–insulator transition is followed, at still larger fields, by transport consistent with a field-induced gap.

A closer reading

Do not collapse every high-field resistance increase into one mechanism. The critical scaling near the transition and the gapped response at higher fields address different regimes of the same crystal.
