Surface modifications of single crystal alpha-Fe2O3 have been monitored as a function of different in situ heat treatments after ion etching, in UHV and under controlled pO(2). The particular (T, pO(2)) conditions were chosen to correspond to the stability domain of Fe3O4 and Fe2O3 in the bulk Fe-O phase diagram. X-ray absorption spectroscopy was performed, in-situ, at the oxygen K edge, enabling the identification of the interconversion, Fe2O3 Fe3O4-x, in the surface layers. Whereas re-oxidation of the surface under UHV is by thermal diffusion of oxygen from the bulk, the evidence suggests that re-oxidation under 10(-6) mbar of oxygen involves a more complex mechanism.
