The motive of this study is to offer a comprehensive evaluation of the structural, elastic, mechanical, anisotropic, electrical and optical characteristics of BaThO3 under the pressure range of 0 GPa–113 GPa. There is no phase transformation and the structure remains cubic but a diminishment in lattice parameters is observed. The material is found to be mechanically stable, inflexible, rigid and has high resistance to shear stress by computing the various elastic and mechanical (bulk modulus, shear modulus and young's modulus) parameters. The Pugh/Frantsevich ratios, Cauchy pressure, Poisson's ratio, and the Kleinman's parameter have proved the ductility, metallic bond nature and high-pressure endurance of the material. Distinctive anisotropy factors are engaged to verify that a compound is anisotropic. When the electronic band structure (BS) is taken into consideration, a change from wide band gap semiconductor (3.174eV) to narrow band gap semiconductor (1.832eV) and eventually metal (0eV) is seen. The total density of states (TDOS), the partial density of states (PDOS) and elemental partial density of states (EPDOS) have all been estimated in order to investigate the electronic BS. To enforce the relevance of this material, the real ε1(ω) and imaginary ε2(ω) dielectric functions, absorption I(ω), refractive index n(ω), extinction coefficient k(ω), loss function L(ω), reflectivity R(ω) and real/imaginary conductivity have all been calculated. The static values of ε1(ω) and n(ω) increase with applied pressure. Since its absorption spectra are present in the UV range, this is the best material to utilize as a UV filter. Additionally, its high refractive index, absorption, reflectivity, and conductivity make it an excellent component in optoelectronic devices.
