Landolt-Börnstein
How to find Data in Landolt-Börnstein, the unique
and top-quality chemistry, physics and technology
data collection...

2
What is Landolt-Boernstein ?
  • Founded in 1883 by Julius Springer and Landolt
    and Börnstein, both Profs. of Physical Chemistry
    in Berlin
  • A systematic comprehensive collection of
    selected and critically assessed data from
    original full text research journals in all areas
    of physical sciences engineering, selected by
    more than 1,000 scientist world-wide
  • LB is the largest living collection of reliable
    physical data, it is still developed today as it
    was a century ago
  • LB online offers original research results
    searchable full text contents of data since the
    1960s (New Series after 6th edition)

3
Landolt-Boernstein in figures
  • Equivalent to over 150,000 printed pages of
    valuable data in more than 45.000 document files
  • gt 360 volumes published
  • About 20 new volumes per year

4
How to find data in LB?
  • Access LB via www.landolt-boernstein.com and from
    here
  • Navigate through Volumes or
  • Search via Comprehensive Index
  • Search via Inorganic Substance Index
  • Search via Organic Substance Index

Indices
8 Groups
This is the main website for the
Landolt-Börnstein (LB) book series, and is aimed
at librarians as well as researchers. For
librarians it provides a list of the subject
categories and individual volume titles, and for
researchers it offers a choice of several tools
for searching data. The website can be navigated
freely. Only the actual content (in the form of
PDF files) requires a subscriber login.
5
Search via Comprehensive Index
If you click on the Comprehensive Index A-Z a
pdf opens in a new window Search the alphabetical
Index for Cadmium- crystal structure for
example, you will find references to LB volumes
highlighted in blue boxes Click the blue box, a
new window opens the table of contents for this
volume
6
Search via Inorganic Substance Index
  • On the LB home page, click on Inorganic
    Substance Index (on the right). The index opens
    as an HTML file in a new window.
  • At the top left of the screen, click on the
    Element System Cd

7
Search via Inorganic Substance Index
  • This displays a list of volumes containing the
    search term Cd. The one we want is the first
    item, Structure Data of Elements and
    Intermetallic Phases (III/6)
  • Click on Table of the structures of
    elements Ac - Mn to open the SpringerLink page
    for this volume. This opens in a new window

8
Search via Inorganic Substance Index
Within the Inorganic Substance Index you can also
search for Structural Formula At the top left of
the screen, click on Structural Formula In the
navigation panel on the left, click on Cd-
This will lead you to the page with all Cadmium
Compounds
Clicking on a compound will bring you to a page
with a list of all LB volumes relevant for this
compound
9
Search via Organic Substance Index
Enter the Organic Substance Index from the LB
homepage As an example we will look for Ethyl
alcohol or ethanol (C2H6O)
  • There are 3 search options
  • Molecular Formula
  • Chemical Abstract Number
  • Chemical Name
  • They all work the same way

10
Search via Organic Substance Index
Click on Molecular Formula In the navigation
panel on the left, click on C2 . It changes
to display a list of organic dicarbon (C2)
compounds. Now go down the list and click on
C2H6O
This displays, on the right of the screen, a list
of volume and page references in LB, alternative
chemical names, a structure diagram and other
information. Clicking on any reference
highlighted in blue will again bring you to the
relevant page in Springerlink
11
Search via Organic Substance Index
Return to the Organic Substance Index and click
on Chemical Abstract Number. The CAS number of
ethyl alcohol is 64-17-5. Click on the first
item, lt100-00-0, and then find and click on
64-17-5.
This displays again a list of volume and page
references in LB. Clicking on any reference
highlighted in blue will bring you to the
relevant page in Springerlink
12
Search via Organic Substance Index
Return to the Organic Substance Index and click
on Chemical Name This displays a list of
letters and numbers representing the first 2
characters of the name. Move down and click on
en In the alphabetical list that follows, click
on ethanol or ethyl alcohol.
This displays again a list of volume and page
references in LB. Clicking on any reference
highlighted in blue will bring you to the
relevant page in Springerlink
13
Search via Organic Substance Index
Note It is also possible to search the Organic
Substance Index by drawing a structure diagram.
The special Java-based interface can be accessed
from the LB home page by clicking on
Scidex-Database Graphical Structure Search

More ways to find data in LB
  • Access via www.springerlink.com This is the
    main portal site for all online publications from
    Springer. All LB searches end up here, regardless
    of the access route chosen. It is also possible
    to search directly on SpringerLink
  • We will now search for data on The Seebeck
    coefficient of antimony
  • Note The Seebeck coefficient relates to the
    thermoelectric effect of differences in
    temperature between the ends of a material.

15
Search on Springerlink
  • Enter the search term Seebeck coefficient
    antimony in the Find content by keyword
    search-box on top. Then click Go.

The next screen displays the relevant hits. The
search terms are highlighted in yellow. Logged-in
subscribers can access the content by clicking on
PDF in the Text line
16
Search on Springerlink
  • Clicking on the chapter title brings a screen
    with full citation details.
  • Clicking on the book title brings up a list of
    the complete contents of the relevant volume.
    Items can be marked and saved for future
