The work involved setting the parameters of the code required to simulate the diffraction, running the code and exporting the data generated to excel for analysis. It was found that the shape of the diffraction pattern and the background intensity for a given value of the golden mean is unique. Both the width of the diffraction pattern and the intensity of the central peak decrease with increasing golden mean. Results obtained illustrated the features of the diffraction by quasicrystal and proved the suitability and accuracy of the code in simulating the dynamics of quasicrystals.
