Abstract

A structural transition at $T \approx 322$ K from the $P mmm$ to $P mma$ phase is found to coincide with an anomaly of resistivity. Another structural phase transition doubling the lattice parameter $c$ , which has been postulated earlier to accompany a low-temperature magnetic transition in TbBaCo $_{2}$ O $_{5.5}$ , is observed in a single crystal DbBaCo $_{2}$ O $_{5.5}$ by means of the X-ray and neutron diffraction. The low temperature phase does not belong to the space group $P cc a$ that has been chosen earlier as the highest subgroup of the $P mma$ . The transition is of the first order with the temperature hysteresis, between $T \approx 100$ and $T \approx 200$ K, which probably explains anomalous magnetic properties in this temperature range.
