Scientific Reference Information

Core Edge (Inner Shell) Excitation Spectra of Gas-Phase Atoms and Molecules
From McMaster University, Canada, a searchable database and bibliography of atomic and molecular core edge excitation oscillator strengths.

NIST Reference on constants, Units, and Uncertainty
This site from the National Institute of Standards and Technology gives authoritative guidance regarding fundamental physical constants, SI units, and the uncertainty of measurement results.

Periodic Table
This site at the Illinois Institute of Technology's Center for Synchrotron Radiation Research and Instrumentation shows x-ray properties of elements, including cross-sections at specific energies.

SI Units
A handy reference to the Systéme Internationale d'unités, from the Institute of Chemistry of the Freie Universität Berlin.

Synchrotron Light Source Data Book
Information about existing and planned light sources from NSLS.

WebElements
The periodic table of the elements, as presented by Mark Winter of the University of Sheffield.

X-Ray Data Booklet
CXRO and the ALS publish this handy booklet, and much of the information is available from the Web site as well. Order your own copy, or look up data about x-ray properties of elements, synchrotron radiation, scattering, optics, and more.

X-Ray Interactions with Matter
Atomic scattering factors, x-ray properties of elements, indexes of refraction, attenuation lengths, transmission and reflectivity values, diffraction efficiencies of transmission gratings, and calculations for bend magnet radiation.
