description This paper introduces a novel multi-component Allen–Cahn (mcAC) system designed to minimize the vacuum phenomenon at the triple junction. The conventional mcAC system intrinsically shows an artificial vacuum phenomenon at the triple junction, which is the formation of voids or empty spaces where three boundaries intersect. Therefore, it is crucial to develop innovative mcAC systems capable of reducing or eliminating such artificial vacuums. The mcAC system uses a concentration-dependent interfacial parameter that plays a key role in controlling the thickness of the interfacial transition layer and offers a promising model for controlling and minimizing the vacuum phenomenon. By using this concentration-dependent interfacial parameter, the proposed method aims to improve the stability and reliability of the system, which contributes to a more accurate representation of the physical phenomena involved. The significance of this work lies not only in resolving a common issue encountered in conventional mcAC systems but also in introducing a novel parameter that adds flexible adaptability to the multi-component system. This adaptability is essential for achieving more realistic simulations and predictions in various applications where multi-component systems are used. The findings presented in this paper provide the way for an improved understanding and manipulation of the mcAC equation and offer valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in fields such as materials science, physics, and engineering.
