We investigate the phase structure and the equation of state (EoS) for dense two-color QCD at low temperatures, $T = 40$ MeV ($32^4$ lattice) and $T = 80$ MeV ($16^4$ lattice). A rich phase structure below the pseudo-critical temperature…

Packing transitions in the lowest energy structures of Li clusters as a function of size have been identified via simulated annealing. For N>21, the large $p$ character of Li leads to unexpected ionic structures. At N~25, a packing pattern…
