“…As the lightest alkali hydride, lithium hydride (LiH) exits in the rock-salt structure (B1) under normal conditions. Although its electronic, structural and compression properties have been studied extensively [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] because of their important usage in thermonuclear and potential energy supplies, there still remain some open issues, among which are the impact of the large zero-point motion, and existence of a rock-salt (B1) to caesium chloride (B2) phase transition, which has been found in all other alkali hydrides [9]. The first issue been addressed by several authors recently [6,[10][11][12][13], and it is found that the zero point motion plays a crucial role in accurately determining the lattice constant and bulk modulus of LiH.…”
