Growth of beta-silicon carbide whiskers by the VLS process
TLDR
In this paper, the authors describe the growth process of Beta-silicon carbide whiskers along with a general explanantion of the effects of major growth parameters on whisker growth morphology.Abstract:
Beta-silicon carbide whiskers are being grown by a vapour-liquid-solid (VLS) process which produces a very high purity, high strength single crystal fibre about 6μm in diameter and 5–100 mm long. Details of the growth process are given along with a general explanantion of the effects of the major growth parameters on whisker growth morphology.read more

Vapor-liquid-solid and melt growth of silicon carbide
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that alpha inclusions present are the rare 2H (wurtzite) modification of silicon carbide and that their presence resulted from a vapor-liquid solid growth which was dominated by impurities in the substrate.
