Abstract
The first compound whisker grown by squeeze technique (In2Bi) is reported. Rotating crystal x-ray analysis and melting-point measurements confirmed that the whiskers were In2Bi. The whisker axis coincided with the 〈001〉 direction for all four whiskers. A scanning electron microscope photograph indicates that the whiskers have diameters of a few μ and a morphology similar to tin whiskers.
