We show that phase rigidity is broken, even in the linear response regime, by means of inelastic scattering due to phonons. Our device provides a way of observing continuous variation of the transmission phase through a two-terminal nano-electro-mechanical system (NEMS). We also propose measurements of phase shifts as a way to determine the strength of the electron-phonon coupling in NEMS.7 pages, 8 figuresMesoscale and Nanoscale PhysicsPhase rigidity breaking in open Aharonov-Bohm ring coupled to a cantilevertext
