Abstract
WHISKER growth and associated phenomena have been extensively reviewed recently by Messrs. N. F. R. Nabarro and P. J. Jackson1. They cited observations of growth from metallic oxides, sulphides and hydroxides along with the more usual growth in metals. Whisker growth from fused quartz, apparently an unreported phenomenon, is unusual due to the vitreous nature of the substrate.
