Abstract
It is shown that the intermetallic compound CuFePt2 is isomorphous with FePt and becomes ordered at temperatures below 1150 °C to form the L10 structure. In rapidly cooled polycrystalline material the grains are subdivided into twin‐related domains with {101} habit to compensate for the stresses set up by the tetragonal distortion. Coloniesof small twins are found within larger twins on three levels of scale, and it is suggested that these smaller twins are formed by successive re‐ordering of a previously ordered matrix during cooling.
