The Summer School “To.sca.lake 2.0: Total Scattering for Nanotechnology on the Como Lake” offers an extended overview on Total Scattering Techniques (from X-rays to visible light) for Nanotechnology, complemented by lectures on synthesis and applications of advanced nanomaterials. Theoretical, experimental and modeling aspects of Wide and Small Angle scattering methods will be integrated by hands-on tutorials on well renowned programs for DSE and PDF Analysis (Debussy and PDFGui) and Demo sessions on SAXS and Light Scattering. The Workshop is open to all aspiring scholars and scientists in any area related to Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, and it is especially addressed to PhD students and young postdocs. The aim of the school is to deepen into both theoretical and applied frontier developments in these fields.

Day 28/09 starting from 9: 00 am there will be maintenance of multi-user nobreaks. The equipment must be turned off. Agenda suspended for that day.

Access  list of publications.

Schedules are again opened by Operation Calendar page. Cable high voltage X-ray tube and replaced.

Isolation fail of cable terminal causes damage in it and in the X ray tube.

Apointments open for 2016 by the webpage: Agenda de Operação. Old safety lamp on.

On 11 January 2016 the diffractometer of LDRX again accused problems with safety lamp (already replaced in 2014). The negotiations with the representative of PANalytical are underway. Sending test piece was agreed on 21 Jan. 2016 but the same is not yet available in LDRX. News will be posted here in due course.

Sorry, this entry is only available in European Portuguese.

Cooling system has been reprogrammed and returned to work properly. Schedules return to normal routine.

The LDRX operating schedule is suspended indefinitely due to failure ray tube cooling system X. New information will be disclosed in due course.
