Analysis of the dynamic synthesis superdispersed product in a C–N system by high resolution electron microscopy

We report on the results of analysis of the superdispersed product synthesized in a superfast jet of electric-discharge carbon plasma flowing to the nitrogen atmosphere. The data obtained by high resolution transmission electron microscopy indicate the presence of the $\alpha$ phase of hypothetic carbon nitride C$_3$N$_4$ in the form of unique quasi-two-dimensional multilayer particles.
