Successive planes normal to are chemically ordered Au and Cu layers. The supplied four-site cell is a convenient doubled description of the primitive tetragonal lattice: valid primitive translations areThey give a square basal cell of side , containing an Au basis atom at the origin and Cu at fractional . That last vector exchanges chemical species and is not a Bravais translation. Thus a face-centred-looking atomic arrangement does not make the chemically ordered material an FCC Bravais lattice. This is the L10 crystal structure; the following indices retain the larger cell specified in the question.
