Abstract
The structure of incoherent Σ=3 twin boundaries in the L12 ordered alloy Cu3Au is investigated employing TEM. The boundary planes are found to vary about ten degrees from a {112} plane. Employing the TEM method of α-fringes common diffraction vectors are used for determining the rigid-body translation between the two crystals at the boundary. No dilatation has been found at a (754) incoherent twin boundary within experimental error. Four grain boundary areas having different translations that preserve the density in the boundary are demonstrated, separated from each other by an antiphase boundary on one side of the boundary plane.
