X-ray absorption spectra (XAS) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectra at Co and Fe L-2,L-3 edges are performed on mixed cobalt-zinc ferrite nanoparticles Co0.73yZn0.73(1-y)Fe2.18 rectangle0.09 (with y=0.4, 2.8 and 3.7 nm average diameter; the symbol rectangle represents a vacancy). Simulation of the spectra thanks to ligand field multiplet theory allows an evaluation of the cationic repartition, Co2+ occupies preferentially octahedral sites for the studied composition, its magnetic moment is 3.64 mu (B), consistent with well-known bulk values for pure cobalt ferrite, Hysteresis curves are measured thanks to XMCD spectra and compared to magnetometry measurements. Being chemically selective, XMCD technique is found promising to complete magnetometry measurements on systems involving several magnetic ions. (C) 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B,V.
