The orange luminescence band (centred at 598 [+ or -] 2 nm) of [Mn.sup.2+] can be observed if the recombination energy is efficiently transformed into the excited state of [Mn.sup.2+] at the [Li.sup.+] position.
This facilitates the transfer of the recombination energy to [Mn.sup.2+] and removes the second "if" in our model.
