When a solid is subjected to external pressure, it can undergo either structural transformation or remain stable in its parent structure. The sequence of structural transformations, when mapped for similar materials, viz., isostructural, isoelectronic and so on, can be used to create a map showing the evolution of structures under pressure for such materials. Such maps are useful in predicting high pressure phases. The structural transitions and the stability of materials as a function of pressure are intricately connected to their electronic structure. Many a times it is advantageous to know the stability of the material under pressure just by calculating its electronic structure. This can be accomplished only if several homologues materials are studied and the stability criteria arrived at by correlating their electronic structure with their structural stability under pressure. Further, as a function of pressure, the electronic structure changes can lead to enhancement in certain desired electronic, physical or mechanical properties. Several examples are known, wherein, pressure tuning of the band structure leads to improved properties. In this paper, we have discussed the above mentioned areas and presented a perspective of the above using the results of our own studies on f-electron based intermetallics (f-IMCs).
