Abstract

In the RBaCo2O5+x (R=rare earth) structure cobalt cations exist in two coordination environments-pyramidal CoO5 (Co2) and octahedral CoO6 (Co1). In compounds with x≈0.5 a metal-insulator (MI) transition is observed. We have found that this transition is affected by an oxygen isotope substitution and is accompanied by structural changes and melting of the orbital ordering. Measurements of transport anisotropy in single crystal of TbBaCo2O5.5 are presented.
