AB  - Short silicon nitride fibers were fabricated by direct nitridation of 
      ferrosilicon in N(2) atmosphere, and their structure and possible growth mechanism 
      were characterized and investigated. The rod-like fibers which were alpha-Si(3)N(4) with 
      a low degree of crystallization and a high aspect ratio had a diameter of about 4 
      mum and a length close to a few millimeters. Belt-like fibers with a width about 5 
      mum and a thickness about 1 mum 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 alpha-Si(3)N(4) 
      with few amorphous distributed in the edge region, and the fibers grew by 
      vapor(-)liquid(-)solid (VLS) mechanism.
