Titanium nitride has long been used for its favourable mechanical and chemical properties and it has been demonstrated that monocrystallinity in thin films enhances these properties. While the synthesis of monocrystalline thin films is well documented, common synthesis processes for titanium nitride nanoparticles yield only polycrystalline, spherically shaped powders. The process presented here allows for the synthesis of monocrystalline, cube-shaped nanoparticles by means of a dual plasma process. Pulsed electric arc erosion of a Ti cathode in a N-rich atmosphere produced by a radio-frequency discharge is used for the synthesis of the TiN nanoparticles. Electron microscopy revealed the cubic morphology of the synthesized powders and electron diffraction patterning confirmed the crystalline structure of the TiN nanoparticles.
