A set of ZnMnO samples grown by MBE on Si with Mn concentrations from 3 % to 30% has been investigated by extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurements, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and magnetisation measurements. The magnetisation shows a ferromagnetic like hysteresis in samples with Mn concentrations below 10 %. An estimate of the ratio of the net magnetisation to the concentration of saturated magnetisation Mn2+ spins gives only 2 % of the total Mn content. The EPR shows dominating signals originating from concentration broadened, and exchange narrowed Mn2+ ions. The formation of secondary Mn phases is evident from EXAFS for samples with Mn concentrations higher than 20 %.
