Long range chemical order imposes a paired step structure on vicinal surfaces of A 3 B Ll 2 (001) and (110) alloys. A comparative study by He diffraction and scanning tunneling microscopy of Cu, Cu 83 Pd 17 , and Cu 3 Au vicinals allows one to emphasize the generality of this phenomenon for stepped alloy surfaces and to point out the differences between the two alloys.
