  text: This paper is concerned with the sharp interface limit for the Allen--Cahn
    equation with a nonlinear Robin boundary condition in a bounded smooth domain
    Ω⊂\R2. We assume that a diffuse interface already has developed and that it is
    in contact with the boundary ∂Ω. The boundary condition is designed in such a
    way that the limit problem is given by the mean curvature flow with constant α-contact
    angle. For α close to 90° we prove a local in time convergence result for well-prepared
    initial data for times when a smooth solution to the limit problem exists. Based
    on the latter we construct a suitable curvilinear coordinate system and carry
    out a rigorous asymptotic expansion for the Allen--Cahn equation with the nonlinear
    Robin boundary condition. Moreover, we show a spectral estimate for the corresponding
    linearized Allen--Cahn operator and with its aid we derive strong norm estimates
    for the difference of the exact and approximate solutions using a Gronwall-type
    argument.
