In this study, we investigate the magnetic and electronic properties of the GdT₂Zn₂₀ (T=Fe and Co) compounds using x-ray resonant magnetic scattering (XRMS), x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES), and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). The XRMS measurements reveal that GdCo₂Zn₂₀ has a commensurate antiferromagnetic spin structure with a magnetic propagation vector ^→/_τ = (12,12,12) below the Néel temperature (T_N ~ 5.7 K). Only the Gd ions carry a magnetic moment forming an antiferromagnetic structure with magnetic representation Γ₆. For the ferromagnetic GdFe₂Zn₂₀ compound, an extensive investigation was performed at low temperature and under magnetic field using XANES and XMCD. A strong XMCD signal of about 12.5% and 9.7% is observed below the Curie temperature (T_C ~ 85K) at the Gd L₂ and L₃ edges, respectively. In addition, a small magnetic signal of about 0.06% of the jump is recorded at the Zn K edge, suggesting that the Zn 4p states are spin polarized by the Gd 5d extended orbitals.
