description

We discuss experimental evidence of nonlocality in electron transport of small structures. It is shown that for superconductors reasonable agreement with experiment can be achieved by assuming exponential decay of the nonlocal interaction ∝ exp(—Lξ), where L is the distance between the interacting points and ξ is the correlation length. ξ is associated with the Ginzburg - Landau coherence length ξGL.
