Online databases for atomic, molecular and optical physics.
This listing is adapted from a master index by Yuri Ralchenko at the Weizmann Institute. There are review papers on these databases by Ralchenko (01/96) and by Schultz (12/97) (zipped Acrobat format).
Also see our list of Other AMO Labs, the research resources in our Useful Web Links, Sheffield's Periodic Table and Brookhaven's Chart of the Nuclides.
