What does this term mean (language/argot)


In several papers I read "L11 type Co-Pt ordered alloy" (see http://jap.aip.org/resource/1/japiau...sAuthorized=no, http://iopscience.iop.org/1742-6596/200/10/102002, http://www.sciencedirect.com/science...22024893903757).
What exactly is meant by L11?
Google seems to lead me only on a few of these papers.

Thank you very much tiny-tim! I've plotted the position of these atoms in VMD to visualize them in 3d.
Another question for anyone who knows: when they say
Quote by papers
Ag composition is around 50 at. %
what do they mean by . %? Do they simply mean that there's 50% of Ag in the sample? This looks a rather strange way of saying it.

i'm guessing … could "at." be short for "atoms"?

at. % denotes percentage based on the number of atoms (also moles). While w% denotes percentage based on the weight.

Thank you infinitely guys. I wouldn't have figured it out on my own.
