Abstract
By reduction of silver halogenides with hydrogen according to Brenner' s method, silver whiskers were grown. Their investigation by contempor ary techniques suggests that the driving force for their growth is the strongly enhanced capillary pressure in the silver halogenide droplet s at the tip of the whiskers. leading to accelerated decomposition of this salt.
