Core EEL spectra of MWCNTs (multi-wall carbon nanotubes) grown in a nitrogen atmosphere were acquired utilising a dedicated STEM equipped with a Gatan Enfina system. Splitting of the carbon K-edge p* resonance into two peaks provided evidence of two nondegenerate carbon bonding states. In order to confirm the presence of a CNx bonding state, a full-potential linearised augmented plane-wave method was utilised to simulate core EEL spectra of graphite and graphitic-CNx compounds. The simulations confirmed splitting of the carbon K-edge p* resonance in graphitic-CNx materials, with the pristine graphite p* resonance remaining unsplit. The simulations also confirmed the increasing degree of amorphicity with higher concentrations (25%) of substitutional nitrogen in graphite.
