| contents | This study explores the pressure evolution of the double perovskite Ba$_2$NiTeO$_6$ by employing experimental and computational techniques. For the study of structural and vibrational properties, synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) and micro-Raman spectroscopic experiments at high-pressures were carried out. As a complementary study, DFT simulations of the structural properties as a function of pressure were performed to support and explain the experimental findings. Furthermore, the electronic and magnetic properties as a function of pressure were investigated using DFT. Our study reveals a structural phase transition from a rhombohedral $R\bar{3}m$ to a monoclinic $C2/m$ phase at high pressure, accompanied by a significant increase in bulk modulus. Certain anomalies were observed in Raman mode frequencies at lower pressures of about 1 GPa, indicating changes in the electronic structure with a modification from direct to indirect bandgap in the sample. A minimum in the Raman mode full-width-half-maximum (FWHM) at about 11 GPa, coincides with an increase in ordering in the sample, indicated by a drop in the distortion index of Ni-O$_6$ octahedra as well as a discontinuity in the $c/a$ ratio. |
