This is the first general, annotated bibliography on atomic line shapes and shifts. It covers exhaustively the atomic spectral line broadening literature in about 1400 separate references extending from 1889 through March 1972. The bibliography contains four major parts: (1) All general interest papers are cataloged according to the broadening mechanisms (and, further, according to social topics under several of the mechanisms) and as to whether the work is a general theory, a general review, a table of profiles or parameters, a comment on existing work, a study of general experimental measurement techniques, or an experimental effort of general importance. Also included are selected papers on important applications of line broadening and on miscellaneous topics relating to atomic spectral line shapes and shifts. (2) In Part 2, all papers containing numerical data are ordered as to element, ionization stage, broadening mechanism (in the case of foreign gas broadening the perturbing species are listed), and it is indicated whether the data are experimentally or theoretically derived. (3) While in the two preceeding parts of the bibliography the references are listed for brevity by identification numbers only, in Part 3 all references are listed completely by journal, authors, and title and are arranged chronologically and alphabetically within each year according to the principal author. (4) A final section contains a list of all authors and their papers. (Author), See also Supplement 1, AD-D095 316.
