For single crystals of the new semiconducting oxytelluride phase, Ba₂TeO, we synthesized from barium oxide powder and elemental tellurium in a molten barium metal flux. Ba₂TeO crystallizes in tetragonal symmetry with space group P4/nmm (#129), a=5.0337(1) Å, c=9.9437(4) Å, Z=2. The crystals were characterized by single crystal x-ray diffraction, heat capacity and optical measurements. Moreover, the optical measurements along with electronic band structure calculations indicate semiconductor behavior with a band gap of 2.93 eV. Resistivity measurements show that Ba₂TeO is highly insulating.
