The magnetic perovskite REBaCo₂O_5.5 (RE= Dy; Gd) system shows a rich magnetic and electronic phase diagram, with a MI transition at higher temperatures and ferromagnetic ordering just below room temperature. With a further reduction of temperature the ferromagnetic magnetization is strongly reduced. This has been discussed in terms of a Co spin state transition and/or antiferromagnetism. A double peak like structure could be observed in the Co L_2,3 XMCD. We interpret this double peak by spectroscopic distinguishable octahedral and pyramidal Co sites. The Co L_2,3 XMCD has been separated from the overlapping Ba M_4,5 spectra by a recently developed XMCD analysis tool called moment analysis. This analysis exhibits an unusual large orbital/spin-moment ratio. In addition, we could observe an extreme large X-ray natural circular dichroism (XNCD) signal, which is about two orders of magnitude larger compared to other published results and about 20% of the corresponding white line intensity. This suggests a large non centrosymmetric charge distribution at the Co site. Nevertheless, the orgin of this extreme large XNCD effect is not clear up to now.
