Abstract This study employs the high-order shear stress theorem and nonlocal strain gradient elasticity theory to foresee and evaluate the heating and buckling behavior of sandwich nanoplates featuring a hexachiral auxetic core layer and magneto-electro-elastic surface layers. This study examines the influence of electroelasticity and magnetostriction for the magnetic electroelastic surface layers, as well as the mechanical impacts on the hexachiral structure of the primary layer, to obtain the equations of motion for the sandwich nanoplate. Separate studies are performed to assess the influence of the core layer and the surface layers on the thermal buckling performance of sandwich smart nanoplates, with the findings of these analyses recorded. The analysis reveals that the auxetic structure in the core layer significantly influences the thermal buckling behavior inside the sandwich nanoplate. Furthermore, studies indicate that the buckling behavior of a sandwich nanoplate is considerably influenced by external electric and magnetic potentials applied to the surface layers. Generally, applying of an external electric potential induces a softening reaction in the surface layer of the sandwich nanoplate, thus reducing the buckling temperatures. Conversely, the magnetostrictive material on the surfaces induces a hardening effect contingent upon the introduction of a magnet outside, hence elevating the buckling temperatures.
