#SubjectDescription
1Web site design It would be nice to have a way to quickly select the other properties you have on the selected atom. When on the screen for a given atom, it might be nice to just have really simple push buttons at the top for the different parameters.
Implemented in Version 2. A bar now appears on top of the page with all properties allowing to switch between different properties of the same atom.
2Web site design Transitions rates for metastable states are hard to find in “Other data”.
Corrected in Version 2, all transition rates now appear in “Transition rate” pages. Metastable states are marked by different color of the state buttons.
3Web site design For the nice plots of polarizabilities, which are very useful for visualizing magic wavelengths, it would be nice if I could switch between different atoms but keep all other plot settings the same.
This will require a mechanism for the site to track data specific to a particular user which we do not plan to implement at this time. We plan to implement more extensive polarizability interface in the future that will allow to plot different elements on the same plot.
4Web site design It would be nice to download data in some easy machine readable format.
We added an option to download data in csv format in Version 2
5Web site design Remove the moving line "Read more about the project".
Done in Version 2.
6Requests for other elements Will the strontium be included?
Yes, in Version 3 released later in 2022.
7Requests for other elements Do you plan to include divalent atom data?
Yes, in Version 3 released later in 2022
8Requests for other elements Will In+ be included?
Yes, in Version 3 released later in 2022.
9Requests for other elements Will highly-charged ions (HCIs) be included?
Data for thirteen HCIs are included in Version 2. We plan to include more data in future releases.
10Requests for other elements Do you plan to include lanthanides, actinides, and superheavy elements.
Yes, in future releases. Some highly-charged ion lanthanides and actinides are already included in Version 2.
11 Requests for other types of data Another useful feature would be to provide the energies you use for the different states, since it appears that in some cases you are calculating the wavelengths of transitions not using the NIST ADS energies.
Implemented in version 2. All energy levels that are not in NIST ASD database are now given in “Energy” pages.
12 Requests for other types of data It would be very helpful for us if the polarization of light is included as a 'user input' in the polarizibility calculations.
We plan to implement it in later releases of the portal.
We have made internal changes to how polarizability pages are generated in Version 2 to simplify future implementation of this feature.
13Requests to clarify data, designations, and units Under 'Polarizability page info' you state that the polarization is linear, but it might be worth saying also that the polarization is parallel to the quantization axis.
It is clarified in Version 2.
14 Requests to clarify data, designations, and units It would be great if you could state the convention you are using for your matrix elements.
It is clarified in Version 2.
15Web site design There are new experimental values for the hyperfine constants in the 43Ca+ D5/2 level https://journals.aps.org/pra/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevA.75.032506.
Added in Version 2.
