Publisher's Synopsis
A unique CD-ROM and print package comprising a fully searchable electronic database of emission lines for nearly 90 elements and a practical reference manual. Breaking away from the traditional compendia of emission lines, the database has been compiled using an algorithm which calculated all the electric-dipole emission lines for each element based on their electronic structure. Therefore this product contains wavelengths for lines that are very weak and only observable under optimum conditions. There is no detection limit, and the programme allows the user to adjust parameters to match the general characteristics of their source and spectrometer, making this a highly authoritative resource.;The CD-ROM provides many valuable features including: Information about all atomic and first ionic state lines in the range of 100 nm to 900 nm (in air or vacuum) associated with the known energy levels for most elements from hydrogen to uranium Calculated transition probabilities for all lines A database that allows the user to plot the calculated spectrum matching their selection of elements and wavelength range Adjustable parameters so that the database can be customised to match the general characteristics of the user's own source and spectrometer. Accompanying the CD-ROM is a reference handbook which includes: Contains 961,000 lines from 88 elements and 172 spectra A calculation of the atomic transition probabilities for all lines Detailed introduction explaining the electronic structure of the atom and how the wavelengths and intensities within the text and CD-ROM were calculated.;Written by experts in the field of Optical Emissions this multimedia package is an indispensable guide to researchers and analysts using other OES techniques, as well as the libraries of institutes involved in the research and teaching of atomic spectroscopy and manufacturers of ICP, arc, spark and glow discharge spectrometers.
