Raman and absorption measurements under high pressure were performed in NiO single crystals at room temperature. A drastic increase of the absorption intensity was observed in the whole visible range. Furthermore, the intensity of a defect induced Raman peak located around 500 cm –1 becomes remarkably, especially at 25 GPa. Neither of the spectral changes recover even after removing the pressure. These results indicate that a permanent lattice disorder is introduced. The remarkable spectral changes are explained to be a result of defects (especially singly charged nickel vacancies) introduced by a deformation of the crystal due to the non‐hydrostatic compression.
