We report a magnetic circular dichroism study at the Ce-2p core level X-ray
absorption spectra on the ferromagnet CeRh3B2. The Ce-L-2,L-3 spectra meas
ured on a single crystal are compared to those obtained on CeRu2Ge2 and CeF
e2, taken as reference systems. The shape of the circular dichroism signal,
that witnesses the 4f hybridisation, supports the delocalised picture of t
he 4f electrons in CeRh3B2. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reser
