Al VIII - VERSION 11.0


The CHIANTI database has the following primary ASCII files for this ion:

  1. al_8.elvlc (energy levels)
  2. contains the energy levels (in cm-1). It includes both experimental and theoretical values of the levels energies.

    DOI:  10.1051/0004-6361/201936931 
    
    Note: only 482 bound levels have been retained.
    
    Observed energies:
    
    levels 3,5,6 from SUMER measurements by 
    Feldman, U. & Doschek, G.A., (2007) Atomic Data and Nuclear Data Tables 93, 779

  3. al_8.wgfa (radiative data)
  4. contains wavelengths, gf and A values of the transitions. The wavelengths are based on the experimental energy levels and should be the best available. Wavelengths calculated from the theoretical energies are of an indeterminate accuracy and their values are presented as negative values of the calculated wavelength.

     
    
    gf-values, A-values and theoretical energies:

    Note: only  bound levels have been retained.
    
    Only transition probabilities with a branching ratio
    greater than 10^(-5) have been retained.
    
    gf-values, A-values for the ground configuration 2s2 2p2 and  the 2s 2p3 are from the
