In this paper we present for the first time the Fe K-edge X-ray magnetic ci
rcular dichroism on Fe100-xBx and Fe100-xPx (15 less than or equal to x les
s than or equal to 23) amorphous alloys. We have clearly observed that Fe10
0-xBx amorphous system present a weak ferromagnetism while the Fe100-xPx ch
anges from weak to strong ferromagnetism with increasing P content. (C) 199
