The spectrum and luminescence intensity of the antiferromagnetic crystals MnF 2 :Eu 3+ are investigated experimentally for temperatures between 20 and 90 °K. This range includes the magnetic ordering temperature T N (≈ 68 °K). At the temperature T H (≈ 0,5 T N ), corresponding to the spin ordering of the excited Mn 2+ ions, the luminescence intensity due to these ions shows a sudden increase while the luminescence intensity due to the Eu 3+ ions suffers a sudden decrease. This indicates that an anomalous change occurs in the transfer of energy between the Mn 2+ and Eu 2+ ions due to the condensation of the local magnetic vibrations of the optically excited Mn 2+ ions.
