title = "Low energy electroplasticity in aluminum alloys",
abstract = "Here, we report a low energy electroplasticity event in alloyed aluminum (Al7050) at a much lower current (0.035 A/mm2) than the previously reported threshold of ~10 A/mm2, leading to 10% hardness reduction and 38% creep enhancement. Ab-initio calculations unveiled a reduced energy barrier to dislocation motion with the presence of alloying elements.",
