(a) Comparison of the XMCD spectra recorded at T = 50 K at the Gd L2-edge in the case of GdAl2 (black, filled circles), the Gd0.5Al2 compounds with R′ = Er (blue, open squares), Ho (green, filled squares), Dy (red, open circles), and in Gd0.75Lu0.25Al2 (dark green, open triangles). (b) Comparison of the XMCD spectra recorded at T = 50 K at the Gd L2-edge in the Gd0.5Al2 compounds after subtracting the XMCD of the GdAl2 one: R′ = Er (blue, open squares), Ho (green, filled squares), Dy (red, open circles), and in Gd0.75Lu0.25Al2 (black, filled circles).
