Abstract
The zero-field level-crossing technique has been used to determine radiative lifetimes of excited states in singly ionized zinc, cadmium, and mercury. The excited levels in Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) were populated by collisions between fast ions and helium gas. Particular attention has been paid to the systematic errors occurring in radiative lifetimes by this technique. The results are compared with the lifetimes obtained by beam-foil, phase-shift, delayed-coincidence techniques and theoretical calculations.
