Chemical beam epitaxy(CBE) method is introduced to carry out the study of cBN deposition on well-defined surfaces and the in-situ observation of the surfaces using an RHEED (reflection high energy electron diffraction)-TRAXS (total reflection angle X-ray spectroscopy) system. The CBE study is theoretically assisted by semiempirical MO calculations of nanocrystals to model hydrogenated surfaces of cBN. The (100)N was found unique because it stabilizes as fully-hydrogenated dihydride structure. On the other hand, the (100)B was predicted to stabilize as monohydride structure, which is similar to hydrogenated surface of diamond(100).
