Abstract: We study the sharp interface limit and well-posedness of a phase field model for self-climb of prismatic dislocation loops in periodic settings. The model is set up in a Cahn-Hilliard/Allen-Cahn framework featured with degenerate phase-dependent diffusion mobility with an additional stablizing function. Moreover, a nonlocal climb force is added to the chemical potential. We introduce a notion of weak solutions for the nonlinear model. The existence result is obtained by approximations of the proposed model with nondegenerate mobilities. Lastly, the numerical simulations are performed to validate the phase field model and the simulation results show the big difference for the prismatic dislocation loops in the evolution time and the pattern with and without self-climb contribution.
