Abstract

Whiskers of pure Ag as long as 10 cm are found in Ag-In-Se alloys. Striations and faceted microstructures are observed, and a [200] preferred growth orientation has been determined. The compositional regime of whisker growth is about 15 to 30 at. pct Se, and is within the miscibility gap. For these alloys at higher temperatures, two liquids are formed, with the more Ag-rich liquid at the bottom. Stress is developed during solidification, and whisker formation is a result of stress release.
