This paper focuses primarily on the P-T phase diagram determination by considering six polymorphs of magnesium hydride (alpha - rutile TiO2, P4(2)/mnm, beta - cubic modified CaF2, Pa (3) over bar, gamma - orthorhombic PbO2, Pbcn, (delta') - orthorhombic, Pbca and cubic - Fm (3) over bar m). The Gibbs free energy and other thermodynamic properties were evaluated by DFT-based thermodynamic calculations, within the frame of the quasi-harmonic approximation, for the pressure range 0-10 GPa and temperatures between 0 and 1200 K. Furthermore, the structural, energetic, and electronic properties of the investigated structures are conversed.
