Abstract

I demonstrate that at low temperatures, a weak magnetic field oscillates or exponentially decays inside a normal metal. This is related to edge persistent currents. Quantized persistent current may flow even in zero external magnetic field. Then it generates its own field, i.e., it yields orbital ferromagnetism.
