An X‐ray magnetic circular dichroism experiment under multiple extreme conditions, 2 ≤ T ≤ 300 K, H ≤ 10 T and P ≤ 50 GPa, has been achieved at SPring‐8 BL39XU. A combination of the high‐brilliant X‐ray beam and a helicity‐controlled technique enabled the dichroic signal to be recorded with high accuracy. The performance is shown by the outcome of pressure‐induced ferromagnetism in Mn 3 GaC and the pressure‐suppressed Co moment in ErCo 2 . Two technical developments, a tiny diamond anvil cell inserted into a superconducting magnet and in situ pressure calibration using 90° Bragg diffraction from a NaCl marker, are also presented. X‐ray magnetic spectroscopy under multiple extreme conditions is now opening a new approach to materials science.
