Abstract
Recent experiments on mesoscopic normal-metal--superconductor heterostructures resolve properties on length scales and at low temperatures such that the temperature is below the Thouless energy . We describe the properties of these systems within the framework of quasiclassical many-body techniques. Diffusive and ballistic systems are covered, both in equilibrium and nonequilibrium situations. Thereby we demonstrate the common physical basis of various subtopics.
