The structure of cold and hot dense matter at subnuclear densities is investigated by quantum molecular dynamics simulations. The phase diagrams obtained show that the density of the phase boundaries between the different nuclear structures decreases with increasing temperature due to the thermal expansion of the nuclear matter region.
