Fractional angular momentum and magnetic-flux quantization

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
It is shown that the fractional angular momentum of charged particles orbiting around a magnetic flux tube would result in fractional magnetic-flux quantization. A crucial experiment to test for the fractional quantum of magnetic-flux as well as anyons is proposed and analyzed.
