The angle integrated resonant photoemission measurements of Zn0.9Mn0.1Se have been performed in the photon energy range between 30 eV and 70 eV using synchrotron radiation. The ternary compound valence band photoemission spectra show, in comparison to the ZnSe results, additional structures, whose intensity depends on Mn content. These new features have been assigned to transitions from the Mn 3d states of e symmetry with spin up. The hybridization of the t2 component of the 3d electrons of Mn in the valence band is discussed. PACS numbers: 75.50.Pp, For several years the Mn-doped H-VI semimagnetic semiconductors compounds, well-known also as diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs), have attracted considerable attention due to their intere8ting magnetic and semiconducting behaviour such as extremely large Faraday rotation, giant magneto-resistance and large values of the g-factor [1][2][3][4].In Zn1-x Mnx Se [5], up to x < 0.33, the transition metal Mn 2 ± ions replace randomly the Zn cations in the zinc-blende structure of the host ZnSe crystal.
