Comparison of the temperature dependence of the magnetization measured at 5 T by using a standard SQUID magnetometer (dotted lines) and that derived from the rare-earth L2-edge XMCD spectra (open symbols) in the case of ErFe2 (black, squares), Er(Fe0.75Al0.25)2 (red, circles), Er(Fe0.5Al0.5)2 (green, triangles), ErCo2 (blue, inverted triangles) and HoCo2 (purple, diamonds). |
