a Initial Σ3{112} ITB. The angle between the current direction and the (111) slip plane is 68°. The green arrow indicates the direction of the electrical current. b–d Sequential snapshots showing the non-directional migration of ITB under pulses of (1.7 V, 3 ns). The positions of ITB before and after the pulses are marked by the yellow dashed lines and cyan solid lines, respectively. The yellow arrows represent the migration directions of ITBs. e Quantitative measurements of migration displacements under pulses. The positive and negative migration displacements represent the leftward and rightward migrations, respectively.
