We discuss the physical content of X-ray Detected Magnetic Resonance (XDMR), i.e. a novel spectroscopy which uses XMCD to probe the resonant precession of the local magnetization in a strong microwave pump field. We focus on the simplest case of a steady-state precession of elemental moments in...

The influence of substituting Pd by Ni is described in Ce(Pd<Subscript>1-x </Subscript>Ni<Subscript> x </Subscript>)<Subscript>3</Subscript> alloys with x taken up to about 0.25. Thermal and magnetization measurements point out a transition from a non-magnetic state (CePd<Subscript>3</Subscript>) to a ferromagnetic state for x 0.05, with a Curie temperature T <Superscript> c </Superscript> ≈ 2 K.
