Using molecular dynamics simulation, we examine the dynamics of crystal, polycrystal, and glass in a Lennard-Jones binary mixture composed of small and large particles in two dimensions. The crossovers occur among these states as the composition c is varied at fixed size ratio. Shear is applied to a system of 9000 particles in contact with moving boundary layers composed of 1800 particles. The particle configurations are visualized with a sixfold orientation angle alpha_j(t) and a disorder variable D_j(t) defined for particle j, where the latter represents the deviation from hexagonal order. Fundamental plastic elements are classified into dislocation gliding and grain boundary sliding. At any c, large-scale yielding events occur on the acoustic time scale. Moreover, they multiply occur in narrow fragile areas, forming shear bands. The dynamics of plastic flow is highly hierarchical with a wide range of time scales for slow shearing. We also clarify the relationship between the shear stress averaged in the bulk region and the wall stress applied at the boundaries.
