We provide an experimental surface phase diagram (surface termination versus chemical oxygen potential) of alpha-Fe2O3(0001) using a natural single crystal surface. In a partial reduction reoxidation cycle, we observe a sequence from oxygen-, to ferryl-, and again oxygen-terminated surfaces, in better agreement with recent density functional theory in the generalized gradient approximation calculations than with calculations taking into account on-site Fe 3d Coulomb repulsion. The nonreversible change in surface termination is accompanied by the formation of basal twins, which act as a sink for the extra Fe ions during the surface transformation processes.
