Negative Poisson’s ratios in metal nanoplates

Abstract: The Poisson's ratio is a fundamental measure of the elastic-deformation behaviour of materials. Although negative Poisson's ratios are theoretically possible, they were believed to be rare in nature. In particular, while some studies have focused on finding or producing materials with a negative Poisson's ratio in bulk form, there has been no such study for nanoscale materials. Here we provide numerical and theoretical evidence that negative Poisson's ratios are found in several nanoscale metal plates under fi… Show more

“…In contrast to previous reports on negative Poisson's ratio in bulk auxetic materials with specifically engineered microstructures 13,35 or more recently in metal nanoplates because of surface and large deformation effects 20 , this behaviour is intrinsic for single-layer BP, and originates from its puckered structure, where the pucker can be regarded as a reentrant structure that is comprised of two coupled orthogonal hinges. As a result of this atomic structure, a negative Poisson's ratio is observed in the out-of-plane direction under uniaxial deformation in the direction parallel to the pucker, which becomes increasingly negative with both increased tension and compression.…”

“…Furthermore, a negative Poisson's ratio was also found in auxetic origami sheets 18,19 . Ho et al recently reported that negative Poisson's ratios can be found in metal nanoplates because of a combination of free surface effects, and a phase transformation under uniaxial loading 20 .…”

“…The bifurcation of the FCC crystal structure is actually a phase transformation from tetragonal to orthorhombic. This phenomenon was observed computationally in previous reports2930. We confirmed that the phase transformation takes place at a critical strain of 0.088 at which the condition C 22  =  C 23 meets for a Au (001) bulk material.…”

“…The new metallic metamaterial exhibits auxetic behavior with almost constant negative values of Poisson’s ratio over a large strain range. This feature is very useful for practical applications in macroscopic metamaterials as well as in nanoscale structures [31,32]. A set of parametric studies using validated finite element (FE) simulation have been done to show the possibility of providing an effective control method to tune the mechanical properties of the 2D metallic auxetic metamaterial during the designing process.…”
