Abstract: We consider an $varepsilon$-periodic ($varepsilono0$) tubular structure, modelled as a magnetic Laplacian on a metric graph, which is periodic along a single axis. We show that the corresponding Hamiltonian admits norm-resolvent convergence to an ODE on $mathbbR$ which is fourth order at a discrete set of values of the magnetic potential (emph{critical points}) and second-order generically. In a vicinity of critical points we establish a mixed-order asymptotics. The rate of convergence is also estimated. This represents a physically viable model of a phase transition as the strength of the (constant) magnetic field increases.
