Frustrated systems with Kitaev-type exchanges show long-range magnetic ordering instead of quantum spin liquid state because of the presence of other exchanges. Interestingly, theoretical studies suggest the possibility of tuning β-Li₂IrO₃ towards a QSL state by applying pressure. In order to establish the temperature-pressure phase diagram in β-Li₂IrO₃ we have used magnetization, thermal expansion, magnetostriction and µSR measurements. Our comprehensive study established - i) a weak increase of ordering temperature (T_MO) up to the pressure of about 14 kbar without showing any detectable change in the magnetic moment and in the nature of ordered state compared to ambient pressure, ii) above 14 kbar, T_MO sharply drops showing a first-order like behavior, iii) magnetic phase separation occurs above 14 kbar where static and dynamic spins coexist.
