Abstract
We report in situ atomic-scale visualization of the dynamical three-dimensional growth of NiO during initial oxidation of Ni-10at%Cr using environmental transmission electron microscopy. Step-by-step adatom growth mechanism in 3D is observed and change of surface planes of growing oxide islands can be induced by local surface kinetic variations.
