Abstract
Isotherms have been constructed and compressibilities and sound velocities have been calculated for the hydrides of alkaline metals on the basis of the functional theory of the local electron density, within the framework of the pseudopotential method. The expression obtained for the electron density distribution allows one to perform the analysis of the character of the binding forces and to determine the dependence of the degree of ionization on pressure in these compounds.
