In this article, I am going to note down my bits of understanding for the role that Fourier transform is playing in total scattering regime. Quite often we hear people talking about real space or reciprocal space representation of the total scattering signal. Also, it's probably a common sense that the two spaces are coupled by Fourier transform. But if pulling ourselves out of those technical details for the moment and think about why Fourier transform comes into play in total scattering regime in the first place, sometimes we may find ourselves in a situation like 'um...but...why?' Before diving into the specific total scattering topic, I will first mention a little bit background about Fourier transform. Here I will not try to reproduce details about it from head to toe, since obviously a simple Googling will guide us to tons of available resources about such a topic. Therefore, there is no need at all to reinvent the wheel. Instead, I will pick up a very interesting vis
