A method and apparatus for the production of a form of carbon nitride with a chemical formula consisting of 3 carbon atoms and 4 nitrogen atoms, and a structure similar to that of beta-silicon nitride. The apparatus utilizes a nitrogen ion beam and a carbon arc. The interaction between the ionized nitrogen and the carbon evoluted in the arc produces copious compounds of carbon and nitrogn. Enrichment of the proportion of the specific carbon-nitrogen compound is achieved by adjustment of the operational parameters of the apparatus. A pure form of this compound is produced by an electric and/or magnetic field separator.
