Hafnium carbide nanowires were synthesised by a Ni-catalysed vacuum chemical vapour deposition method below the eutectic temperature of the Ni–C–Hf alloy. The zigzag growth behaviour of the hafnium carbide nanowires resulting from metastable growth was investigated by transmission electron microscopy in order to understand the sub-eutectic growth. Three typical zigzag configurations at joint angles...
