Localization effects are observed for extremely small amounts of disorder corresponding to electron mean-free-paths of order 100 unit cells. Estimates of the localization corrections suggest that this anomalous localization threshold heralds a crossover to a ground state with pronounced one-dimensional character in which conduction electrons become confined to a small cluster of chains.4 pages, 4 figuresStrongly Correlated ElectronsIrradiation-induced confinement in a quasi-one-dimensional metaltext
