The Perovskite DyBaCo2O5.5 exhibits a very rich phase diagram including two different paramagnetic, a ferromagnetic, and an antiferromagentic phase as a function of temperature[1]. In addition to these unusual properties, the system exhibits a very pronounced and strong magnetocrystalline anisotropy, with the easy axis along the crystallographic a-axis[2]. We will show detailed angular and temperature dependent X-ray magnetic circular dichroism and nonmagnetic linear polarized absorption spectroscopy results at the Co L2,3 and O K edges, performed on a de-twinned single crystal. A clear and quantitative correspondence between the microscopic and macroscopic magnetic behavior has been found. O K edge spectra reveal angular dependent variations, which give insight to the orbital character of the unoccupied states. Our results provide detailed information about the microscopic physics behind the observed unusual and also technical very promising properties. [1] A.
