Abstract
It has been shown that insulating LiH and LiD transform gradually to a semiconducting state at about 30 GPa and room temperature. It was als o found that these compounds undergo a semiconductor-to-semimetal tran sition at about 43 GPa. The observed phenomena can probably be explain ed by a first-order phase B1-to-B2 structure transition.
