In Ni single crystals grown by the floating‐zone method, it was found that their growth directions tended to concentrate towards the 〈111〉 or the 〈100〉 direction. An interpretation was put forward for the preferred direction of these crystals in terms of thermal stability of the crystallographic planes in the solid‐liquid interface.
