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:

Lines1   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.
 
Levels1   Energy levels of a particular atom or ion displayed in order of energy above the ground state.

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

Introduction   Introduction to the Atomic Spectra Database.
List of Spectra   Overview of data contained in the database.

Ionization Energies
  Table of Ground States and Ionization Energies for Neutral Atoms.
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 Energy Levels Data Center and Data Center on Atomic Transition Probabilities and Line Shapes have carried out these critical compilations. Both Data Centers are located in the Physics Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
