Abstract Understanding the early stages of interactions between oxygen and material surfaces—especially at very high spatial resolutions—is highly beneficial for fields ranging from materials degradation, corrosion, geological sciences, forensics, and catalysis. The ability of in situ atom probe tomography (APT) is demonstrated to track the diffusion of oxygen and metal ions at nanoscale spatial resolution during the early stages of oxidation of a model Fe–Cr–Ni alloy. Using ¹⁸ O isotope tracers in these in situ APT experiments and complementary ex situ multimodal microscopy, spectroscopy, and computational simulations allows to precisely analyze the kinetics of oxidation and determine that outward cation diffusion to oxide/air interface is the primary mechanism for intragranular oxide growth in this alloy at 300 °C. This unique in situ isotopic tracer APT approach and the insights gained can be highly beneficial for studying early stages of gas–surface reactions in a broad array of materials.
