In Sr₂NiIrO₆ long-range Ir-Ir antiferromagnetic exchange interactions have been reported to overcome the ferromagnetic Ni-Ir interactions hampering the otherwise expected ferromagnetic behavior. Prompted by this, a combination of x-ray absorption spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction at high pressure is used here to investigate the interplay between the magnetic structure of the Ir sublattice and lattice degrees of freedom. In this work, the compression of Sr₂NiIrO₆ drives an unexpected nonmonotonic change of the x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectra: The intensity first decreases in the 0- to 18-GPa range, then shows an increase in the 18- to 30-GPa range and again decreases for higher pressures. The XMCD intensity, a measure of the net magnetization in the Ir sublattice, however, is found to remain very low in the whole pressure range so the observed changes do not correspond with a transition from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic order. The evolution of the XMCD is better explained in terms of a weakening/strengthening of the long-range antiferromagnetic (AFM) IrIr interaction between ferromagnetic planes associated with the reduction of the lattice parameters. In particular, a correlation can be established between the evolution of the b/a ratio and the weakening/strengthening of the AFM interaction.
