Magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) of resonant inelastic X‐ray scattering (RIXS) of 3 d 5/2 → 2 p 3/2 decay (Ho L α 1 ) was measured at the Ho L III ‐edge in Ho 3 Fe 5 O 12 . The MCD‐RIXS, in which the intermediate state has the 2 p 4 f n + 1 configuration due to the quadrupolar transition of 2 p → 4 f , was also observed at the pre‐edge region of the Ho L III ‐edge. The obvious superposition of two peaks, which comes from the high‐energy off‐resonant Raman scattering and the fluorescence, could be found in both the RIXS and the MCD‐RIXS when the energy of the incoming X‐ray was 7eV higher than the white line. The dependence of the integration of the MCD‐RIXS spectra on the incident x‐ray energy could roughly reproduce the MCD of X‐ray absorption spectra (XAS).
