<p style='text-align: justify;'>Lawrence Bragg's interpretation of the X-ray diffraction pattern of cubical zinc blende. See: W.L. Bragg, Nature, 90, 410, 1912. Proc. Camb. Phil. Soc., 17(1), 43, 1912. Lawrence Bragg interpreted the diffraction pattern of cubical zinc blende in terms of the coherent reflections from the various planes within the crystal structure, resulting in the discovery of Braggs' law. He and his father William Bragg were awarded the 1915 Nobel Prize in Physics for their discovery of Bragg's Law.</p>
