Manganese induce a strong green color in glass by forming less-colored iron(III) and slightly pink manganese(II), compensating for the residual color of the iron(III). Larger quantities of manganese are used to produce pink colored glass. Tetravalent manganese is used as an activator in red-emitting phosphors. While many compounds are known which show luminescence the majority is not used in commercial application due to low efficiency or deep red emission. However, several Mn aktivated fluorides were reported as potential red emitting phorshors for warm-white LEDs. But to this day, only KSiF:Mn is commercially available for use in warm-white LEDs. The manganese oxide
Gallium manganese arsenide incorporated. At lower temperatures, around 250 °C, there is insufficient thermal energy for surface segregation to occur but still sufficient for a good quality single crystal alloy to form. In addition to the substitutional incorporation of manganese, low-temperature MBE also causes the inclusion of other impurities. The two other common impurities are interstitial manganese and arsenic antisites. The former is where the manganese atom sits between the other atoms in the zinc-blende lattice structure and the latter is where an arsenic atom occupies a gallium site. Both impurities act as double donors, removing the holes provided by the substitutional manganese,
