Changes in intermittent serrated flow behavior during plastic deformation of Zr 64.13 Cu 15.75 Ni 10.12 Al 10 , a representative glassy metal with characteristic ductility, in response to variant strain rates and temperatures were examined. The influence of strain rates and environmental temperatures on the stress-time sequence of the plastic strain regime was investigated using comprehensive dynamical, statistical, and multifractal analyses. Three distinct spatiotemporal dynamical regimes were explored. Under small strain rates or high temperatures, the time-stress sequence exhibited a chaotic behavior. Conversely, under large strain rates or low temperatures, a transition to the self-organized critical (SOC) state was observed. In addition to chaotic time series and statistical analysis, multifractal analysis was also applied to study the crossover between these two unique plastic dynamic transitions. This plastic dynamical behavior was elucidated based on the interactions between shear avalanches in the glassy metal.

Single-particle resonances are crucial for exotic nuclei near and beyond the drip lines. Since the majority of nuclei are deformed, the interplay between deformation and orbital structure near threshold becomes very important and can lead to improved descriptions of exotic nuclei. In this work, the Green's function (GF) method that can treat the single-particle bound and resonant states on the same footing is applied to solve the coupled-channel Dirac equation with a quadrupole-deformed Woods-Saxon potential for the first time. Detailed formalism for the partial-wave expansion of Green's function is presented. Numerical checks are carried out by comparing with our previous implementation of spherical GF method and the results from the deformed analytical continuation of the coupling constant (ACCC) and scattering phase shift (SPS) methods. Finally, Nilsson levels for bound and resonant orbitals in a halo candidate nucleus 37 Mg from the deformed GF method are calculated over a wide range of deformations and show some decisive hints of p-wave halo formation in this nucleus, namely, crossing between the configurations 1/2[321] and 5/2[312] at deformation parameter β > 0.5 may enhance the probability to occupy the 1/2[321] orbital coming from 2p 3/2 .
