We have studied the chemisorption of oxygen at room temperature on Fe layers deposited on Pt(111) substrates by using core-level X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that the oxygen atoms are chemisorbed when the thickness of the Fe layers is not larger than 6 monolayers. Upon post-annealing, it was found that part of the chemisorbed atoms are desorbed at a temperature range 600 - 700 K, after which the intermixing between Fe and Pt atoms occurs. The overall trend of this intermixing was very similar to the Fe/Pt(111) surface without oxygen exposure. The remaining oxygen adatoms, the amount of which is about a half of the total, were found to be eventually desorbed from the surface upon post-annealing at 1000 K. The binding energy of this phase was higher than that of the oxygen atoms desorbed at lower temperatures by 1.3 eV.
