The relative stability of multiferroic BiFeO
3
(0001) surfaces, which is the (111) facet in the pseudocubic notation, with different stoichiometry is systematically studied by using
ab initio
thermodynamic approach in order to obtain insights into the stable surface terminations. We predict that under most chemical potential conditions the thermodynamically favored terminations for the negative and positive surfaces are −Bi–O
2
and −Fe–O
3
–Bi, respectively. The predicted difference in oxygen content between the negative and positive surfaces is consistent with experimental observations at the BiFeO

Our results demonstrate that not only the stoichiometry and atomic geometries but also the electronic and magnetic properties of the BiFeO
3
(0001) surfaces show strong dependence on the ferroelectric polarization direction. Therefore, we expect that the surface physical and chemical properties of the BiFeO
3
(0001) surfaces can be easily tuned by an external electric field.
