Welcome to the NIST Atomic Spectra Database, NIST Standard Reference Database #78. The spectroscopic data may be selected and displayed according to wavelengths or energy levels by choosing one of the following options:

Spectral Lines    Spectral lines and associated energy levels displayed in wavelength order with all selected spectra intermixed or in multiplet order. Transition probabilities for the lines are also displayed where available.
 
Energy Levels    Energy levels of a particular atom or ion displayed in order of energy above the ground state.



Ground States and Ionization Energies 
Ground states and ionization energies of atoms and atomic ions.

Additional information about the database may be obtained through the following links:

Atomic Spectroscopy Intro   Outlines basic atomic physics concepts, explains terminology and notation.
ASD Intro & Contents
  Introduction to and contents of the Atomic Spectra Database.
Bibliography   Bibliography of data sources used for this database.
Help   On-line help in using the database.

This database provides access and search capability for NIST critically evaluated data on atomic energy levels, wavelengths, and transition probabilities that are reasonably up-to-date. The Atomic Spectroscopy Data Center  has carried out these critical compilations. The Data Center is located in the Physical Measurement Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
