233-si0004.gif"> γ-BeH2 (semiconducting).
In BeH2 obtaining high-pressure phases with superconducting properties is possible.
Equilibrium volume collapse from α- to β-phase»β- to γ-phase transition.
Obtained dielectric constant for α-BeH2 is in excellent agreement with earlier reported value.
BeH2 shows anisotropic behavior in all three studied phases.
