| contents | Quasi-brittle plastic yielding is a salient feature of well-annealed glassy materials. Here we show that the same behavior is characteristic of perfect crystals after they experience mechanically driven elastic instability leading to massive nucleation of dislocations. We argue that such 'preparation' effectively converts an atomic configuration from crystalline to quasi-amorphous. To understand the nature of the subsequent intermittent mechanical response we study a model 2D crystal subjected to AQS driving and show that both pre- and post-yield dislocation avalanches exhibit power law statistics with similar exponents indicative of self-induced marginal stability. |
