Mesoscopic physics

the energy scale set by the diffusion time across a disordered sample, whose ratio to the level spacing gives a dimensionless conductance.

In mesoscopic physics, Thouless energy refers to the energy scale set by the diffusion time across a disordered sample, whose ratio to the level spacing gives a dimensionless conductance. This meaning comes from Edwards (1972) in Journal of Physics C: Solid State Physics.[1]
