The characteristics of quasiparticle-injected superconducting weak links containing films with short electron mean-free paths have been studied. The behavior of these devices at T=4 K is shown to be consistent with a spatially localized nonequilibrium state in which the electrons and the crystal lattice are at an elevated temperature T*≳T.
