The morphology and structure of core-shell nanoparticles that formed in a spherical striated glow discharge were studied. The low-pressure glow discharge is generated in a steel chamber in ethanol vapour. Transmission electron microscopy shows that core-shell particles with an iron core, coated by two carbon shells, are formed in the discharge. The shell adjacent to the iron core is crystalline with distances between the crystal layers close to those of graphite. The outer shell is an amorphous carbon material. A possible scenario of the formation of these particles is discussed.
