ZrN whiskers are grown on various substrates. It is found that Ni, SiO, and mullite substrates are effective in whisker density and in growth rate for the growth from a ZrCl4-H2-N, system. The presence of Si-carrying species in a vapor phase also accelerates the nucleation of whiskers. ZrN whiskers grow at the temperature range of 1000-1300°C and in the direction of (100) and (111).
