Continuity and discontinuity of kirigami's high-extensibility transition: A statistical-physics viewpoint

Recently, kirigami's high extensibility has been understood as a transition in the force-elongation curve. In this Rapid Communication, we consider a model, which modifies our previous model, to show a striking analogy between the present theory and the Landau theory of continuous thermodynamic...

description Recently, kirigami's high extensibility has been understood as a transition in the force-elongation curve. In this Rapid Communication, we consider a model, which modifies our previous model, to show a striking analogy between the present theory and the Landau theory of continuous thermodynamic transitions, if we regard a rotation angle and elongation of kirigami as the order parameter and the inverse temperature, respectively. The present study points out the importance of the distinction between the discontinuity and continuity of the high-extensibility transition in an elementary kirigami structure, and shows that the mechanical response of kirigami can be understood using the tools of statistical physics, which have been proved to be useful in many fields of physics.
