dc.descriptionWe predict non-mesoscopic oscillations in the orbital magnetic moment of a thin semiconductor ring in the quantum Hall effect regime. These oscillations, which occur as a function of magnetic field because of a competition between paramagnetic and diamagnetic currents in the ring, are a direct probe of the equilibrium current distribution in the nonuniform quantum Hall fluid. The amplitude of the oscillating moment in a thin ring with major radius $R$ and minor radius (half width) $a$ is approximately $a R e ω_{\rm c} /c$, where $ω_{\rm c}$ is the cyclotron frequency.
