### Hexagonal lattices with basis

Scattering from two hexagonal close packed layers of spheres.

• The sample is made of spherical particles deposited on a substrate.
• These $10$-nanometer-radius particles are positioned in a hexagonal close packed structure:
• each layer is generated using a two-dimensional hexagonal lattice with a lattice length of $20$ nm and its $a$-axis parallel to the $x$-axis of the reference Cartesian frame.
• the vertical stacking is done by specifying the position of a “seeding” particle for each layer: $(0,0,0)$ for the first layer and $(R,R,\sqrt{3}R)$ for the second layer, $R$ being the radius of the spherical particle.
• The wavelength is equal to 0.1 nm.
• The incident angles are $\alpha_i = 0.2 ^{\circ}$ and $\varphi_i = 0^{\circ}$.
