The investigation of clean CU3Au (100) and (110) with 1800 low energy ion scattering and detection of neutrals (NICISS) shows that the surface is terminated at room temperature with the Au rich plane. The clean CU3Au (100) surface exhibits a LEED c (2x2) superstructure and has been imaged by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) in ultra high vacuum with atomic resolution. The measured different grey scale heights in the unit cell can be attributed to the position of Au and Cu atoms, respectively. Adsorption of atomic nitrogen starts with the formation of islands. Prom the NICISS data it has been concluded that after saturation with 0 or N the surfaces are terminated with a Cu plane. On the basis of STM and direct recoil spectroscopy (DRS) the fourfold hollow site of oxygen or nitrogen. above Cu atoms has been deduced for the CU3Au (100) surface. CU3Au (110) is less inert and oxygen adsorption is readily achieved by gas exposure. An added row structure similar to the structure discovered at Cu (110)-(2x1) 0 has been found.
