Nowadays are available also nano-diamonds which might be of use. Alternatively, depending on what is your substrate, you can use pure silicon crystals. In any case, be sure that the reference pattern will not interfere with your sample one otherwise it will be difficult to distinguish between both. A third alternative is to have a calculated (DFT will be of great use) pattern to retrieve any difference with your experimental pattern
