We have utilised in situ Rayleigh–Mie scattering ellipsometry to analyse the growth process of amorphous hydrogenated carbon nitride (a‐C:H:N) nanoparticles synthesised in a plasma of nitrogen and acetylene. The validity of the measurements is shortly discussed. The complex refractive indices in dependence of the particle radius are carefully determined and compared with a‐C:H(:N) films which are deposited under similar conditions and analysed via multiple wavelength ellipsometry. Internal structures of the nanoparticles are then deduced from the change of optical constants during the growth. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
