We present an x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) study performed at the R L(2) edge in RAl(2) and RT(2) (T = Fe, Co) intermetallic compounds. By analyzing the modification of the XMCD spectra as both the rare earth and the alloyed element (Al, Fe, or Co) are changed in the compound, an extra contribution, XMCDT, has been identified and undoubtedly associated with the R R(5d)-T(3d) hybridization in Fe and Co compounds. The sign and intensity of this contribution are found to be related to the magnetism of the T neighboring atoms as well as to the strength of the T-R interaction. These findings open the possibility of experimentally quantifying both the R(4f)-R(5d) and the T (3d)-R(5d) hybridizations, which govern the R-T interaction.
