- BaIrO$_{3}$ is a distorted perovskite which has a number of phase transitions with increasing pressure (Cheng, 2009; Cheng, 2013).
- (Cheng, 2009) label the structures by the approximate stacking of the BaO$_{3}$ layers.
- 0-3 GPa: the ground state $\alpha$–BaIrO$_{3}$
9R
structure, in space group $C2/m$ #12. - 3-5 GPa: $\beta$–BaIrO$_{3}$
5H
structure, also in space group $C2/m$ #12. (this structure) - 5-18 GPa: $\gamma$–BaIrO$_{3}$, which has the SrIrO$_{3}$
6H
structure. - 18-?? GPa: $\delta$–BaIrO$_{3}$ is in the tetragonal $\gamma$–SrZrO$_{3}$ structure.
- Presumably at some point above 25 GPa the compound transforms into the cubic perovskite ($E2_{1}$)
3C
structure.
- 0-3 GPa: the ground state $\alpha$–BaIrO$_{3}$
- AFLOW moved the origin from the Ir I site to the Ba I site, a shift of 1/2($\bf{a}_{1} + \bf{a}_{2} + \bf{a}_{3}$).
\[ \begin{array}{ccc}
\mathbf{a_{1}}&=&\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}- \frac{1}{2}b \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}\\\mathbf{a_{2}}&=&\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}+\frac{1}{2}b \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}\\\mathbf{a_{3}}&=&c \cos{\beta} \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}+c \sin{\beta} \,\mathbf{\hat{z}}
