Abstract
Data are presented which demonstrate that the {111} and {100} surfaces of a silicon whisker in contact with a liquid metal solvent droplet are more anisotropic than those in contact with the vapor phase. Melting of metal solvent particles on a silicon substrate is accompanied by wettability anisotropy: the (111) close-packed faces of silicon are more poorly wetted by liquid solvent droplets than are the other faces.
