        Abstract
        Bismuth silicon oxide (BSO), Bi12SiO20 has found application in various optoelectronic devices. Bi12SiO20 single crystals were grown by Czocharlski method. The conditions for growing this single crystal were calculated. The absence of a core was confirmed. The formation of phase and crystal structure of Bi12SiO20 was carried out by XRD analysis and Raman spectroscopy. It can be observed 18 active Raman modes. The three modes are new and not found in the available literature..
