The whiskers weredescribed as long and straight single crystals of approximately 1-30 mu m in diameter by thecentimeter range in length. However, AlN dendrites were about 1mm in diameter by 0.5cm in length,and showed an obviously preferential growth orientation, i.e., perpendicular to [21-bar1-bar1] and[101-bar1] planes.
