Abstract:
Atomic transition probabilities for Scandium (Z = 21) through Ni (Z = 28)
for about 18,300 spectral lines are critically compiled, based on
all available literature sources. The transition probability data, oscillator
strengths, and line shape data were collected, catalogued and evaluated by
the Data Center on Atomic Transition Probabilities at the National
Institute of Standards and Technology, USA (NIST).

Note on Seq_No:
0 refers to weighted averages of line values.
Note on Mult_No:
The Multiplet Table Number Refers to Multiplet Tables by Charlotte Moore.
Note on Pre_Wave:
A square bracket "[" indicates approximate calculated or extrapolated values
Note on S:
The line strength is given in atomic units. A cross reference table
for converting between S, f(i,k), A(i,k) is given in the source reference.
Some authors have used a definition of the line strength for E2
transitions which yields a 50% higher value than employed here and in
earlier NBS transition-probability compilations.
Note on Type:
Type indicates the forbidden transition types.
E1 = electric dipole transition
E2 = electric quadrupole transition
M1 = magnetic dipole transition
M2 = magnetic quadrupole transition
Note on Acc:
The ratings for the uncertainties are:
A = within 3%
B = within 10%
C = within 25%
D = within 50%
E = greater than 50%
+,- = often a further distinction in the uncertainty labels was
made by assigning a plus or minus to indicate the lines are
estimated to be somewhat better or worse than similar lines.
c, 1, 2 = undefined
Note on NIST_ref:
Abbreviations appearing are:
ls : LS coupling rules applied
n : normalized to a scale different from that of the author
interp.: derived by an interpolation technique rather than taken
directly from the literature
The NIST reference source code list is not available in electronic
form as part of this data set.
Modifications:
The following errors were found and corrected after checking the
printed version: (1) in record 7967 an underscore in the exponent
was replaced by a minus sign; (2) a comma in the A(k,i) field number was
replaced by a dot; (3) the S filed in records 9840 and 14850 were
replaced by the printed value; (4) the bar sign in record 211 was
found to be spurious. In addition to these changes, the opening and
closing brackets around the exponent in the Aki, fik, and S fields
were replaced by the "E" for the exponent followed by the exponent value.
The notes "a" following the closing bracket were found to be
unnecessary and removed. The format for the Aki, fik and S fields
could not be specified as an F format, nor could the values be aligned
since many values were found to be integer, but all non-numeric
characters have now been removed from those fields.
