References and Finding Index by Atomic Index by Chemical IntroductionThis Handbook is designed to provide a selection of themost important and frequently used Atomic spectroscopicdata in an easily accessible compact format.

6 The compilationincludes data for the neutral and singly-ionized atoms of allelements hydrogen through einsteinium (Z 1 99). Thewavelengths, intensities, and spectrum assignments are givenin a table for each element, and the data for the approxi-mately 12 000 lines of all elements are also collected into asingle table, sorted by wavelength a finding list .More complete data for a smaller number of the most per-sistent lines of each spectrum are given in additional tablesfor each element. In addition to the wavelengths and inten-sities, the energy levels and transitions probabilities whereavailable are listed for a total of about 2400 lines in thesetables.

7 We also give a separate table of energy level data foreach spectrum which, although incomplete, includes levelsadditional to those involved in the persistent-line complete data than those selected for this Handbookcan usually be found in references given with the tables forparticular spectra. The data from most of the NIST compila-tions we have used are available online from the AtomicSpectra Database ASD see MFKM99 . In addition tomore extensive data for many of the spectra in this Hand-book, the ASD has data for higher ionization stages of manyelements and includes the we have made heavy use of previous compila-tions, our tables for the great majority of elements include atleast some data compiled by us from more recent originalliterature and, in some cases, from unpublished material.

8 Ourmost extensive use of data from the original literature hasbeen for the heavier elements. Although the data are incom-plete, our wavelength and energy level tables for these ele-ments, especially, comprise a supplement to the ASD. Forexample, the current version of the ASD includes energy-level data for only two spectra Mo I,II of the 72 spectra ofthe neutral and singly-ionized atoms of the elements Rb toBa (Z 37 56) and Hf to Ra (Z 72 88). No complete andcritical compilations of energy levels have appeared for mostof these spectra since Vols.

9 2 and 3 of Atomic Energy Levels M52, M58 . For the actinide elements Ac Es (Z 89 99), we were able to rely almost entirely on the verycomplete compilation by Blaise and Wyart BW92b .For some spectra, especially some of the lighter elements,we have taken data from existing compilations that havebeen superseded by data reported in more recent Atomic Data TablesA small selection of nonspectroscopic Atomic data hasbeen provided for each element. Included are the atomicnumber and weight and a list of naturally occurring isotopes,including the isotopic mass, the relative abundance, thenuclear spin in units of h/2 , and the magnetic moment inunits of nuclear magnetons.

10 For elements with no naturallyoccurring isotopes, the most commonly observed isotopesare listed. These data are taken from J. Emsley E95 . Strong Line TablesFor each of the elements a list of the strongest lines in thespectra of the neutral and singly-ionized atom has been com-piled. This list includes the wavelength, the ionization stage,the reference for the wavelength measurement, and an inten-sity. Unless otherwise noted, the Spectroscopic data in thisHandbook pertain to the naturally occurring isotopic mix foreach WavelengthsThe wavelengths for many spectra have been taken fromReaderet al.
