ABSTRACT
Short silicon nitride fibers were fabricated by direct nitridation of ferrosilicon in N2 atmosphere, and their structure and possible growth mechanism were characterized and investigated. The rod-like fibers which were α-Si3N4 with a low degree of crystallization and a high aspect ratio had a diameter of about 4 µm and a length close to a few millimeters. Belt-like fibers with a width about 5 µm and a thickness about 1 µm were also found in the nitrides. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) investigations indicated that the fibers were single-crystalline α-Si3N4 with few amorphous distributed in the edge region, and the fibers grew by vaporâ»liquidâ»solid (VLS) mechanism.
