Based on the finding that the solid-liquid interface reaction between the TiO 2 particles formed by firing and the molten alkali is important, the present inventors have arrived at the present invention as a result of repeated studies, and the role of the carbon material in the present invention is as follows. It is presumed that the instantaneous combustion and the reducing atmosphere of the generated CO gas promote the solid-liquid interface reaction. It also makes the fired product porous and promotes the growth of whiskers. That is, while the amount of alkali halide is extremely small, the action of the alkali halide acts as a flux for crystal growth of alkali titanate, which promotes reaction growth and promotes radial growth. This suppresses the growth of GaN and increases the aspect ratio.
