Apr 8, 2016 at 9:54 comment added Ilja ... this is strange; I tried to google it too, and found the paper you linked in your original question, and in its title there is "full sphere"... I edited the post to make the reasoning more clear. I dont see where it can be wrong, and we'll have to read the original papers to see what they meant...

Apr 6, 2016 at 16:52 comment added AccidentalFourierTransform @Ilja (+1) Thank you very much for showing interest. I've got to say I'm pretty confident about my value for $\mu$ (I doubt it is twice as much) because I found the same result on many pages online (if I google magnetic moment of hollow sphere I find the same value $\mu=\frac{1}{5}er^2\omega$ everywhere...).
Apr 4, 2016 at 22:02 comment added Ilja you are right... I did the computation and edited the post. But still I am convinced the main point which seemed to be not obvius in the comments is right: the magnetic moment is for example calculated as current times area, and is thus for a fixed $\omega$ proportional to $r^2q$, just analogous to the moment of inertia.
