Popis: Despite a large body of literature, mechanisms contributing to low temperature jerky flow remain controversial. Here, we report a cross over from a smooth at room and liquid nitrogen temperatures to serrated plastic flow at 4.2 K in high-entropy CrMnFeCoNi alloy. We show that the jerky flow results from an interaction between dislocation inertial motion with Lomer-Cottrell locks. The instability is shown to result from a competition between the inertial and viscous time scales characterized by a Deborah number. A dynamical analysis shows that jerky flow is chaotic characterized by a finite correlation dimension and a positive Lyapunov exponent.
