We present transport properties of quench-condensed Au film with nominal thickness ≈3.56 nm and R□ ≈ 5 k Ω for T > 10 K. This film has weak nonmetallic temperature dependence of resistance with logarithmic behavior above 10 K and somewhat stronger dependence at low temperatures. Above 3 K only two-dimensional (2D) quantum interference effects in electron transport have been found; whereas, below 3 K both one-dimensional (1D) and 2D effects of weak localization (WL) and electron–electron interaction (EEI) can be distinguished. This reflects inhomogeneous structure of the film near the thickness-controlled metal-insulator transition (MIT).

The relativistic quantum interference effects in the spacetime of slowly rotating object in braneworld as the Sagnac effect and phase shift effect of interfering particle in neutron interferometer are derived in unified way. It is found that in the case of the Sagnac effect, the influence of brane parameter is becoming important due to the fact that the angular velocity of the locally non-rotating observer is increased by the brane tension. In the case of neutron interferometry, it is found that an additional term in the phase shift of interfering particle emerges due to the presence of the brane parameter Q*. From the obtained expressions of phase shift in Mach–Zehnder interferometer upper limit for brane parameter has been estimated. From the results of the recent experiments we have obtained upper limit for the tidal charge as Q* ≲ 107 cm 2. Finally, as an example, we apply the obtained results to the calculation of the (ultra-cold neutrons) energy level modification in the gravitational field of slowly rotating gravitating object in the braneworld.
