The aggregation states of Mn 2+ in KBr Mn 2+ doped crystals are investigated using optical techniques. Excitation and luminescence spectra as well as lifetimes are obtained as a function of temperature of different crystals. It is demonstrated that at least three different Mn 2+ precipitates are formed inside the KBr. Two of them contain MnBr 6 4‐ units with slightly distorted octahedral symmetries, while the third one involves two non‐equivalent tetrahedral MnBr 4 2‐ units. These centers exhibit a broad green luminescence band.
