Single crystals of a new yttrium borosilicide of YB{sub 44}Si{sub 1.0} have been grown by the floating zone method using a xenon lamp image furnace. X-ray powder diffraction, precession photography, and chemical analyses showed that the crystal obtained is a new YB{sub 50} family yttrium borosilicide which has a composition of YB{sub 44.4}Si{sub 1.04} in the middle part of the crystal and an orthorhombic crystal structure with space group Pbam or Pba2.
