Abstract The impurity band ( E max = 1.842 eV) observed in photoluminescence (PL) spectra of GaSe: Mn crystals is demonstrated to be due to intracentre transitions of the Mn 2+ ion. The energy of a zero‐phonon transition ( E ZPL = 1.928 eV) and of optical phonons participating in the formation of the PL of the electronic‐vibrational band is determined. Emission of excitonic polarons — ferronic states, resulting from a spin polarization of the electron and hole, included in the exciton, and of local antiferromagnetic‐ordered magnetic moments of Mn 2+ ions is observed at T < 20 K.
