Ordered structures of Cu-Zn-Au alloys were studied by electron diffraction. Two-dimensional antiphase structures exist at the compositions, Cu55Zn15Au30, Cu80-xZnxAu20 (10 ≤ x ≤ 35) and Cu85-xZnxAu15(25 ≤ x ≤ 35). The domain sizes M's measured in terms of the basic L12 cell along the two orthogonal directions are always the same, and they change from 3.4 to 1.6 as Zn content increases from 10 to 35 at.%. Based on the superstructure image of the Cu55Zn25Au20 with M=2.0 taken with high-resolution electron microscope, a structure model is derived, which explains intensities of all the superlattice spots on the diffraction pattern.
