Abstract
We report measurements of the temperature dependence of the amplitude of phase-periodic conductance oscillations in disordered normal metal (Ag) structures, attached to a superconducting (Al) wire at two points . The amplitude of oscillations reaches its maximum at temperatures, T , when the Thouless energy is of the order of k(B)T. The results are in agreement with recent calculations by Nazarov and Stoof [Phys. Rev. Lett. 76 (1996) 823].
