The modern approach to analyzing materials by Bragg diffraction is to interpret the output as the reciprocal space representation of the lattice positions. An inverse Fourier transform then gives the the position distributions of the lattice. The HighScore Plus software, associated with the Empyrean XRD, is used to perform these operations. It generates a spacing constant in angstroms, which can be interpretted as the lattice constant for the cubic lattice. \cite{highscore}

\section{Computational Details}
\label{sec:compdets}
The phase of the X-rays are not known, so the program determines the phase by fitting predicted profiles. A background is determined using the minimum 2nd derivative method with ``bending factor'' = 5, ``granularity'' = 20, and using smoothed input data. Peaks are located with ``minimum significant'' = 10.00, ``minimum tip width'' = 0.01, ``maximum tip width'' = 1.00, and ``peak base width'' = 2.00. The program was able to identify the copper Bragg diffraction pattern, which was very prominent, seen in Figure~\ref{fig:cudiff}.
