Under stress, bulk metallic glasses irreversibly deform through shear banding processes that manifest as serrated flow behavior. These serration events exhibit a shock-and-aftershock, earthquake-like behavior. Statistical analysis shows that the shear avalanches can self-organize to a critical state (SOC). In analogy to the smooth macroscopic-scale crystalline plasticity that arises from the spatio-temporal averages of disruptive earthquake-like events at the nanometer scale, shear avalanches in glassy metals are another model system that can be used to study SOC behavior. With our understanding of SOC behavior, we further demonstrate how to enhance the plasticity of glassy (brittle) materials. It is expected that the findings can be extended to other glassy or brittle materials. (C) 2009 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
