The spectral dependence of the intensity of the EPR signal allows to identify the absorption tail of the band‐to‐band transition as due to a transfer of an electron from the valence band into the d‐shell of Cr 2+ (d 4 ) due to which the Cr + (d 5 ) charge state is created. The temperature dependence of the Cr + (d 5 ) EPR signal is investigated. It seems that the long lifetime of Cr + (d 5 ) is connected with the influence of the exchange interaction on the recombination process of an electron from the Cr + (d 5 ) state with a loosely bound hole.
