Summary:
The Database for Atoms, Molecules, Gases, and Plasmas is known as the
GAPHYOR Data Center, located at the Laboratory of the Physics of Gases and
Plasmas (Laboratoire de Physique des Gaz et des Plasmas) in Orsay, France.
This research facility, known as LPGP, produces "...a database on properties
of atoms, molecules, and neutral or ionized gases....[It includes] about
500,000 entries covering mainly [from] 1970-1995.....[The] five domains of
physics, chemical physics, and plasma physics...dealt with [are]; properties
of isolated atoms and molecules; collisions with photons; collisions with
electrons; collisions and reactions between atoms and molecules; and
macroscopic properties of gases. " The database is created from a "...large
coverage of the specialized literature in the fields of atomic and molecular
physics, chemical physics, and plasma physics."
Upon accessing the site, the user will find a table of contents with these
topics: overview; database; handbook update; fees; help; home; and contacts.
Each title provides access to its place within the site. "Overview" gives
information on the GAPHYOR database, its structure, history, and
publications. Ways to access the database (via the WWW or e-mail) are also
given. Access to the database is provided under its respective heading;
updating the GAPHYOR handbook or viewing a portion of its contents occur
under
the third category. To sponor the database or to contact the laboratory,
users can enter either the fourth or last titles within the table of
contents. On-line is available, with included instructions, when the "help"
area is chosen.
The GAPHYOR database is accessible through the table of contents or through
a link further down the first page. In this same link area, users will find
a second opportunity to pursue much of the options found at the top of the
site. When the database is opened, the user will encounter a search page,
filled with fields to narrow matching entries. Reactants are specified as
the field of matching records. Users can personalize searches through
submitting information in these fields: formula; ionization; excitation;
type; state (final or initial); and specific reactant type (properties of
isolated atoms and molecules, collisions with photons, collisions with
electrons,
collisions between atoms and molecules, macroscopic properties of gases).
Additional information can be specified in : data type; nature; energy;
special data field; numerical or new data ; and the number of chemical
elements
in the reaction. The resulting records will include bibliographic, factual,
and numerical information.
Special links are provided to the LPGP lab, the GAPHYOR 3.0 handbook and
updates, as well as the latest updates to the database server. The site is
also available in French , for interested users. The database is maintained
by the Laboratory of the Physics of Gases and Plasmas; the University of
Paris--South (Universite Paris--Sud); Orsay, France.

QC 174.26.A8 Quantum Theory. Quantum Mechanics. Special Topics, A-Z. Atomic
Transition Probabilities
Summary:
The Atomic Transition Probability Bibliographic Database is a division of
the Data Center on Atomic Transition Probabilities at the National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST). This database contains over 5600
references, including those of recently published bibliographies through
NIST. The entries reveal publications and texts which "...contain numerical
data, comments, and review articles on atomic transition probabilities
(oscillator strengths, line strengths, or radiative lifetimes) and are part
of the collection of the Data Center..." within NIST.
Three major categories of selection criteria are provided for the database.
Category I specifies searches for an element, isoelectronic sequence, or a
stage of ionization. Category II reflects only general interest paper
searches. Category III narrows the search through entry portions: a word in
the title; author name; journal name; publication year; experiment/theory;
and specific experimental/theoretical method. After choosing the search
criteria, the user must select the "get form" field to activate the search.
Once the search is begun, users should follow onscreen commands and links to
narrow the database's response. When the final records are viewed, the
following is presented: the title of the article; author; title of journal;
issue number and pages of article; and the publication date.
The database and its site is maintained by J.R. Fuhr and H.R. Felrice of the
NIST Physics Laboratory; the National Institute of Standards and
Technology; Gaithersburg, Maryland.
