Figure 3: Detection of anyon phase πν from interference phase shift θ.

(a) Dependence of (blue, normalized) and
(cyan, normalized) on Φ in the pure Aharonov–Bohm regime and (b) their dependence on VG in the Coulomb dominated regime. We choose ν=1/3, T=30 mK, e*V=45 μeV, L=3 μm and vp=104 m s−1 (L/LT=1.2 and L/LV=20); see Supplementary Note 5 for the Coulomb interaction parameter of the regimes. For these parameters, the phase shift θ between
and
is 0.9πν. (c) Dependence of θ on T. The same parameters (except T) with (a) and (b) are chosen. θ→πν as T increases (yet
). In both the pure Aharonov–Bohm regime and the Coulomb-dominated regime, the same numerical result (blue curve) of θ(T), which agrees with equation (6) (magenta), is obtained.
