Abstract

The third edition of the To.Sca.Lake Summer School, co-sponsored by ICDD, was organized on the Como Lake shore in Northern Italy, and has seen the participation of more than 50 attendees from four different continents. The main topic was Total Scattering Analysis in the real and reciprocal spaces (by the Pair Distribution Function and the Debye Scattering Equation approaches, respectively). with additional contributions on Small Angle X-ray Scattering and Light Scattering methods, the latter proposed in the static and dynamic modes.
