Using Raman spectroscopy and ab-initio lattice dynamic calculations we uncover the structure of spin states below T_MI=350 K in single crystalline RBaCo₂O_5.5 (R=Gd, Eu). In GdBaCo₂O_5.5 we observe the G-type of high spin (HS) and intermediate spin (IS) state order of Co-octahedral sites which placed in ac-plane, while pyramidal sites remains in IS states all the way up to 400 K. We show that this type of spin state order strongly suppresses carrier’s motion and lead to the anisotropy of resistivity. Below 200 K we observe the gap opening between HS and IS states in XZ-spectra (this gap equals to 55 cm⁻¹ at 5 K).
