Abstract

The results of theoretical investigations of the electronic structure and transport properties of vortex states in mesoscopic superconductors with sizes of several coherence lengths are reviewed. The features of the electronic spectra of multiquantum vortices and vortex molecules, as well as mechanisms of thermal transport along vortex lines, are considered by taking into account boundary effects.
