Abstract: Near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy was performed to study the atomic deuterium (hydrogen) adsorption behavior on hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) epitaxial thin film as a model system to BN nanomaterial. In this research work the B and N K-edge NEXAFS spectra were analyzed by density functional theory calculations with model clusters in order to support NEXAFS experimental results as well as verify the cluster dependence of the calculation.
