摘要
The equilibrium lattice constant, cohesive energy, and electron density of states of light metal hydrides (LiBeH3, LiMgH3, LiCaH3, NaMgH3, and LiBH3) are calculated using the linear combination of muffin-tin orbitals method on a perovskite lattice structure. Large gaps in the density of states appear at the Fermi energy of LiBeH3, LiMgH3, LiCaH3, and NaMgH3 indicating that these classes of hydrides are insulators. LiBH3, on the other hand, is metallic and could have interesting electronic properties.
