Abstract
It is shown that a sufficiently pure mesoscopic metallic ring will exhibit a magnetic phase transition to a low-temperature state with a persistent orbital current in zero external field (to a flux-phase state). The transition temperature and the spontaneous persistent current depend strongly on the geometry of the ring and of the Fermi surface.
