The band structure, optical, and defects properties of Ba2TeO are systematically investigated using density functional theory with a view to understanding its potential as an optoelectronic or transparent conducting material. Ba2TeO crystallizes with tetragonal structure (space group P4/nmm) and with a 2.93 eV optical bandgap [Besara et al., J. Solid State Chem. 222, 60 (2015)]. We find relatively modest band masses for both electrons and holes suggesting applications. Optical properties show infrared-red absorption when doped. This could potentially be useful for combining wavelength filtering and transparent conducting functions. Furthermore, our defect calculations show that Ba2TeO is intrinsically p-type conducting under Ba-poor condition. Furthermore, the spontaneous formation of the donor defects may constrain the p-type transport properties and would need to be addressed to enable applications.
