Evidence for weak antilocalization-weak localization crossover and metal-insulator transition in CaCu$_{3}$Ru$_{4}$O$_{12}$ thin films
Artificial confinement of electrons by tailoring the layer thickness has turned out to be a powerful tool to harness control over competing phases in nano-layers of complex oxides. We investigate the effect of dimensionality on transport properties of $d$-electron based heavy-fermion metal CaCu$_{3}$Ru$_{4}$O$_{12}$. T...
