Electron energy loss spectroscopy is used to analyse the structure of a CN{sub x} thin film deposited on a Si (001) substrate, held at 500{degrees}C, by reactive magnetron sputtering. The elemental composition is determined to {approximately}20 at% nitrogen. From the near edge spectra of the carbon K edge a sp{sup 2} contents of {approximately}53 % could be estimated. In the Extended Energy Loss Fine Structure analysis an unusually broad and intense peak was found in the RDF at {approximately}8.8 {Angstrom}. This peak is regarded as evidence of some large scale spherical structures also seen in the High Resolution Electron Microscopy micrographs.
