NIST: Atomic Spectra Database

Version 5.0.0 July 2012	Major update. New additions and corrections: Added a new Web interface for retrieval of ionization energies and total binding energies of ground states of all atomic spectra.

About 4900 of those ionization energies (5844 in total) are new, and about 400 have been updated. Uncertainties have been added or revised for all ionization energies. Web interface of ASD is improved. Handling of the Spectrum field in Levels and Lines Search Forms is revised to conform to the standard used in the NIST Atomic Spectra Bibliographic Databases, which allows for searching of multiple spectra by isoelectronic sequence names, as well as by names of spectra and by ionic charge.

Version 3.0-beta October 2004	The database management system has been completely replaced, and a new interface has been developed. New graphical capabilities have been added as well. Additions, revisions and updates to data, references, and texts have been completed.
Version 2.0 March 22, 1999	Contains transition data on the first 99 elements in the periodic table and energy level data for the first 28 elements plus Z = 42, 57-71. Data on transition probabilities, wavelengths, and energy levels are integrated and self consistent. A new database search engine and World Wide Web interface have been created.
Version 1.3 9 July 1999	Version 1.3 of ASD is maintained as an archive. The database was transferred from "aeldata.nist.gov" to "physics.nist.gov." "aeldata.nist.gov" now resides behind the NIST firewall and is no longer accessible to the public. At relocation time, the interface was redesigned to allow for easier access to the data. Also, the data tables were reformatted to save screen space making them easier to view. Si I energy levels from Energy Levels of Silicon, Si I through Si XIV, W.C. Martin and R. Zalubas, J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data 12, 323-380 (1983) are now available.
Version 1.2 13 March 1998	Si I energy levels are at present unavailable. Si I energy levels contained in the database through 12 March 1998 were from unpublished measurements and data compiled at NIST (1993), which updated the published NIST energy level compilation, Energy Levels of Silicon, Si I through Si XIV, W.C. Martin and R. Zalubas, J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data 12, 323-380 (1983). Pending completion and publication of the 1993 work, the Si I energy levels will revert back to the published data in the next release.
Version 1.1 16 January 1996	References, ground states, and ionization energies have been added for all spectra for which other data are included. New energy level data have been added for Zn I-XXX and new wavelength data have been added for Fe XIV.

Energy level data are included for over 500 spectra for the elements Na through S, K through Ni, Cu, Ge, Kr, and Mo, La through Lu, and O II. Transition probability data are included for Sc through Ni. Wavelength data are included for O II, Mg, Al, S, and Sc.
Beta Version 3 January 1995	Unofficial release. Includes most of the existing recent critically evaluated NIST data on atomic energy levels, transition probabilities, and wavelengths.
