Abstract: Thermodynamic characteristics of a single crystal of bismuth orthogermanate (Bi₄Ge₃O₁₂), which are necessary to improve device portfolio, have been studied. It has been shown that bismuth orthogermanate is thermodynamically stable against decomposition into binary oxides at 50 °C, which gives us grounds to consider this compound promising for various applications.

Keywords: Czochralsky technique, bismuth germinate, single crystal, calcium germinate, solution calorimetry, formation enthalpy.
