Spectroscopic Characteristics of Neutral Atoms

  • Chapter
Reference Data on Atoms, Molecules, and Ions

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Chemical Physics ((CHEMICAL,volume 31))

Abstract

Numerical data are presented for low-lying atomic terms, oscillator strengths of the most intense optical transitions, radiative lifetimes of low-lying resonant excited states and Rydberg levels of atoms with one valence electron and for typical parameters of atomic metastable states. The spectra of the most intense optical transitions are reproduced on atomic Grotrian diagrams.
