The structural and magnetic properties of two mixed-valence cobaltites with a formal population of 0.30 Co4+ ions per f, (Pr1-yYy)0.7Ca0.3CoO3 (y=0 and 0.15), have been studied down to very low temperatures by means of high-resolution neutron diffraction, SQUID magnetometry, and heat-capacity measurements. The results are interpreted within the scenario of the spin-state crossover from a room-temperature mixture of the intermediate-spin Co3+ and low-spin Co4+ (IS/LS) to the LS/LS mixture in the sample ground states.
