Abstract

The tensor polarizabilities of then s n p z 3 P 1 levels of Zn and Cd were measured using optical double resonance. From the rf-resonance signals in parallel electric and magnetic fields, the following tensor polarizabilities were deduced: Zn,α ten(4s4pz 3 P 1)=1.83(8) kHz/(kV/cm)2; Cd,α ten(5s5pz 3 P 1)=1.77(8) kHz/(kV/cm)2. Theoretical values were calculated using Coulomb approximation. The results were then compared with previous theoretical and experimental values and, in addition, with values for Hg. Theoretical results obtained by a modified Sternheimer method (E.J. Robinson: J. Opt. Soc. Am.59, 782 (1969)) are in better agreement with the experimental values than the results of the Coulomb approximation calculations.
