Abstract
Two series of Prussian blue analogs (PBA) were used as model compounds in order to disentangle the information contained in X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at the K-edges of transition metals. The number of 3d electrons on one site of the bimetallic cyanide polymer has been varied by associating to the [Fe(CN)6]3- or the [Cr(CN)6]3- precursors various divalent metal ions A2+ (Mn2+, Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+, and Cu2+). The compounds were studied by X-ray diffraction and SQUID magnetometry, as well as by X-ray absorption spectroscopy and XMCD at the K-edges of the A2+ transition metal ion. The study shows that the 1s → 4p contribution to the A K-edge XMCD signal can be related to the electronic structure and the magnetic behavior of the probed A2+ ion: the shape of the signal to the filling of the 3d orbitals, the sign of the signal to the direction of the magnetic moment with respect to the applied magnetic field, the intensity of the signal to the total spin number SA, and the area under curve to the Curie constant CA. The whole study hence demonstrates that PBAs are particularly well-adapted for understanding the information contained in the transition metals K-edge XMCD signals. It also offers new perspectives toward the full disentangling of the information contained in these signals and access to new insights into materials magnetic properties.

Abstract
In order to disentangle the physical effects at the origin of transition metal K-edge X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) in coordination polymers and quantify small structural distortions from the intensity of these signals, a systematic investigation of Prussian blue analogs as model compounds is being conducted. Here the effects of the temperature and of the external magnetic field are tackled; none of these external parameters modify the shape of the XMCD signal but they both critically modify its intensity. The optimized experimental conditions, as well as a reliable and robust normalization procedure, could thus be determined for the study of the intrinsic parameters. Through an extended discussion on measurements on other XMCD-dedicated beamlines and for other coordination compounds, we finally provide new transition metal K-edge XMCD users with useful information to initiate and successfully carry out their projects.

Simultaneous Observation of the Er- and Fe-Sublattice Magnetization of Ferrimagnetic Er_{3}Fe_{5}O_{12} in High Magnetic Fields Using X-Ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism at the Er L_{2,3} Edges.

Abstract
X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) studies at the Er L_{2,3} edges of Er_{3}Fe_{5}O_{12} exhibit a change of the spectral shape as a function of temperature and magnetic field. Using singular value decomposition, this variation is understood as a linear combination of two components. The dominating component is associated with the Er magnetization, while the second contribution is identified as an induced signal from the Fe sites. XMCD at either of the L edges in Er_{3}Fe_{5}O_{12} provides information on the net magnetization of both sublattices. Their evolution in fields up to 30 T reveals details of the ferrimagnetic interactions on two very different scales.

Abstract
The European Synchrotron Radiation Facility has recently made available to the user community a facility totally dedicated to Time-resolved and Extreme-conditions X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy--TEXAS. Based on an upgrade of the former energy-dispersive XAS beamline ID24, it provides a unique experimental tool combining unprecedented brilliance (up to 10(14) photons s(-1) on a 4 µm × 4 µm FWHM spot) and detection speed for a full EXAFS spectrum (100 ps per spectrum). The science mission includes studies of processes down to the nanosecond timescale, and investigations of matter at extreme pressure (500 GPa), temperature (10000 K) and magnetic field (30 T). The core activities of the beamline are centered on new experiments dedicated to the investigation of extreme states of matter that can be maintained only for very short periods of time. Here the infrastructure, optical scheme, detection systems and sample environments used to enable the mission-critical performance are described, and examples of first results on the investigation of the electronic and local structure in melts at pressure and temperature conditions relevant to the Earth's interior and in laser-shocked matter are given.

Abstract
Using a fast silicon strip detector, a multi-frame acquisition scheme was implemented to perform energy-dispersive X-ray magnetic circular dichroism at the iron K-edge in pulsed high magnetic fields. The acquisition scheme makes use of the entire field pulse. The quality of the signal obtained from samples of ferrimagnetic erbium iron garnet allows for quantitative evaluation of the signal amplitude. Below the compensation point, two successive field-induced phase transitions and the reversal of the net magnetization of the iron sublattices in the intermediate phase were observed.

Abstract
Circularly polarized X-rays produced by a diamond X-ray phase retarder of thickness 0.5 mm in the Laue transmission configuration have been used for recording X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) on the bending-magnet beamline BM25A (SpLine) at the ESRF. Field reversal and helicity reversal techniques have been used to carry out the measurements. The performance of the experimental set-up has been demonstrated by recording XMCD in the energy range from 7 to 11 keV.
