Abstract: We study globally bounded entire minimizers $u:mathbb{R}^{n}ightarrowmathbb{R}^m$ of Allen-Cahn systems for potentials $Wgeq0$ with $W=0=a_1,\mathrm{...},a_N$ and $W(u)sim|u-a_i{|}^{a}lpha$ near $u=a_i$, $0<alpha<2$. Such solutions are, over large regions, identically equal to some zeroes of the potential $a_i$'s. We establish the estimates �egin{equation*} mathcal{L}^n(I_0cap B_r(x_0))leq c_1r^{n-1},quad mathcal{H}^{n-1}(partial^* I_0cap B_r(x_0))geq c_2r^{n-1}, quad rgeq r_0(x_0) end{equation*} for the diffuse interface $I_0:=xinmathbb{R}^n:mi{n}_{1leqileqN}|u(x)-a_i|>0$ and the free boundary $partial{I}_0$. Furthermore, if $alpha=1$ we establish the upper bound �egin{equation*} mathcal{H}^{n-1}(partial^* I_0cap B_r(x_0))leq c_3r^{n-1}, quad rgeq r_0(x_0). end{equation*}
