1307.1473 (Siavosh R. Behbahani et al.)

Electrons turn into anyons under an elastic membrane    [PDF]

Siavosh R. Behbahani, Claudio Chamon, Emanuel Katz
We show that electrons acquire anyonic statistics if a two-dimensional electron gas is placed in proximity to a charged magnetic membrane. In this two-layered system, electrons become anyons through electromagnetic field mediated interactions with a membrane phonon. The statistical parameter is irrational and depends on the membrane tension and on the electric charge and magnetic dipolar densities on the membrane. We propose a measurement that yields the value of the statistical parameter.
