Abstract
Direct evidence is presented to show that whisker growth by vapor deposition occurs at the tip rather than the base. Platelets are shown to grow at constant thickness by the action of a set of crossed‐screw dislocations, and whiskers are shown to bear no screw dislocations normal to their axis.Keywords
