Abstract: (arXiv)

In supernova cores, nuclear 'pasta' phases such as triangular lattice of rod-like nuclei and layered structure of slab-like nuclei are considered to exist. However, it is still unclear whether or not they are actually formed in collapsing supernova cores. Using {\it ab-initio} numerical simulations called the Quantum Molecular Dynamics (QMD), we here solve this problem by demonstrating that a lattice of rod-like nuclei is formed from a bcc lattice by compression. We also find that, in the transition process, the system undergoes zigzag configuration of elongated nuclei, which are formed by a fusion of two original spherical nuclei.
