What is lithium gas?

Lithium is a solid metal (At room temp). Is lithium gas super heated Lithium in gasious form?
or is there a process other than heating that produces Lithium in gas form?

Is there a chemical way of converting Lithum to gas form?

Thanks
Jim

Proces of converting lithium to gaseous form is called boiling or evaporation, and yes, it requires high temperature (1342 deg C). No magic here.
