The spectra of X-ray magnetic circular dichroism by the electric quadrupole transition (EQ-XMCD) are theoretically studied at the Yb L 3 edge of mixed valence compounds, YbInCu 4 and YbAgCu 4, around the field-induced valence transition in high magnetic fields. Using a new formulation with a single impurity Anderson model, which directly connects the EQ-XMCD spectra with the weights of the Yb 4f angular momentum j z in the ground state, we show that the EQ-XMCD intensity of YbAgCu 4 is more than twice as large as that of YbInCu 4. This explains the reason for that the EQ-XMCD spectra was very recently measured successfully for YbAgCu 4, whereas no experimental evidence of EQ-XMCD has so far been obtained for YbInCu 4. Different EQ-XMCD intensities for the two materials and a peculiar field dependence of EQ-XMCD intensities are discussed on the basis of the weights of j z in the ground state.
