Quantum coherence effects lie at the heart of mesoscopic physics: they control the behaviour of conductors which size becomes comparable to the electron phase coherence length Lf.The experiments presented in this thesis deal with the effects of the phase coherence of electrons on the transport properties of metallic diffusive conductors. We have first concerned ourselves with electron dephasing in measuring, at very low temperature, the weak localisation magnetoresistance of quasi-1D gold wires containing iron magnetic impurities. The measured behaviour of the electron phase coherence time tf is well described in the framework of Kondo impurities, by the interplay between the single impurity Kondo effect and the RKKY impurity-impurity inter...
