Elastic instability by hydrogenation and hydrogen diffusion are studied by molecular dynamics method. The bulk modulus instability causes the anorphization by hydrogenation. The atomic relaxation reduces the pressure fluctuation terms i n the elastic constant, and it leads to the bulk modulus instability. The hydrogen diffusion in metals is also studied. The phase transition of the diffusion is discussed.
