The coherent phenomena in mesoscopic cylindrical normal metal $(N)$\char22{}superconductor $(S)$ structures have been investigated theoretically. The magnetic moment (persistent current) of such a structure has been calculated numerically and (approximately) analytically. It is shown that the current in the $N$ layer corresponding to the free-energy minimum is always diamagnetic. As the field increases, the magnetic moment (current) exhibits jumps at certain values of the trapped magnetic flux…
