Abstract

An interpretation is given of published measurements of optical isotope shifts in cadmium. This requires the evaluation of two electronic factors for each transition; these are found for the alkali-like transitions γγ226.5, 806.7 and 853.3 nm of Cd II using data from hyperfine structure and evidence from atomic calculations. The King relations then allow the electronic factors for γ1441.6 nm to be derived. Finally, the precise measurements of isotope shifts in this transition are analysed to investigate how the nuclear charge distribution changes over the range of stable isotopes.
