We have observed magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) in the soft x-ray absorption spectra of the semiconducting ferromagnet CdCr 2 Se 4 and the metallic ferromagnets CuCr 2 S 4 and CuCr 2 Se 4. The Cr 2 p x-ray absorption and MCD spectra show that the d-electron occupancies of the Cr atom in the Cu based Cr sulfide and selenide are not much different from that in the CdCr 2 Se 4 in spite of the different formal valencies Cr 3. 5+ and Cr 3+, respectively. The observed Cu 2 p MCD spectra show the existence of small magnetic moments on the Cu sites which are aligned antiparallel to the Cr 3 d moment in CuCr 2 S 4 and CuCr 2 Se 4, consistent with band-structure calculation.
