## Description

- description: This letter proposes and demonstrates a flexible architecture for an
    anomalous-Nernst-effect -based heat flux sensor inspired by kirigami, a traditional
    Japanese paper-cutting art. A prototype device comprises an amorphous Sm19Co81
    film and Ta/Au electrode on a flexible substrate pre-patterned with a periodic-cutting
    kirigami structure. The estimated heat flux sensitivity of the kirigami-structured
    sensor was comparable to that of a conventional sensor without kirigami structure
    and remained unchanged even when it was stretched by 10%. Our approach opens a
    pathway toward versatile and mechanically compliant heat flux sensing that is
    applicable to various surfaces.
