We present a chemo‐mechanical finite element method model for the breathing effect of the silicon anode during lithiation and delithiation. The model is based on the framework for gradient extended standard dissipative solids. It couples diffusion of lithium ions, phase transformation with a moving phase boundary, and the related volume changes, which lead to mechanical stresses in the material. The driving force for diffusion is given by the gradient of the electrochemical potential. Phase transformation and phase boundary movement are described by the Allen–Cahn equation in combination with a constrained double obstacle potential. To shift the constraint ξ∈[0,1]$\xi \in [0,1]$ from the nodes to the Gauss points, the model makes use of the micromorphic approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Clean tests of a small admixture of right-handed quark currents directly coupled to the standard W are still lacking. We show that such non-standard couplings can be significantly constrained measuring the value of the scalar Kπ form factor at the Callan–Treiman point to a few percent. A realistic prospect of such a measurement in decay based on an accurate dispersive representation of the scalar form factor is presented. The inadequacy of the currently used linear parametrization is explained and illustrated using recent KTeV data. We briefly comment on the charged kaon mode. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
