Recently, the honeycomb material α-RuCl3 has been identified as a possible realization of the Kitaev model, rendering this material an ideal platform for exploring Kitaev magnetism experimentally. However, the onset of long-range magnetic order at TN= 7 K and ambient pressure, i.e. the absence of a spin liquid ground state, implies that α-RuCl3 deviates from the ideal Kitaev model under these conditions. We therefore set out to elucidate whether α-RuCl3 can be driven into the true Kitaev regime by means of hydrostatic pressure. Our x-ray diffraction and extended x-ray absorption fine structure studies reveal a rich structural phase diagram, including pressure induced Ru-Ru dimerization as well as a high-symmetry rhombohedral phase. The latter is indeed found to be very close to the ideal Kitaev model.
