Abstract
The growth of filamentary silver from microcrystals of silver iodide has been examined in the electron microscope. It was found that filamentary growth was restricted to certain types of crystals namely those containing twin planes. After growth the filaments exhibited contrast bands which appeared to be connected with prismatic slip. A mechanism is put forward, based on twinning dislocations, to explain the mode of generation of filaments.
