Here, we report on the low-temperature magnetic properties of the DyScO₃ perovskite, which were characterized by means of single crystal and powder neutron scattering, and by magnetization measurements. Below T_N = 3.15 K, Dy³⁺ moments form an antiferromagnetic structure with an easy axis of magnetization lying in the ab plane. The magnetic moments are inclined at an angle of ~ ±28° to the b axis. We show that the ground-state Kramers doublet of Dy³⁺ is made up of primarily |±15/2> eigenvectors and well separated by a crystal field from the first excited state at E₁ = 24.9 meV. This leads to an extreme Ising single-ion anisotropy, M_⊥/M_∥~0.05. The transverse magnetic fluctuations, which are proportional to M²_⊥/M²_∥, are suppressed, and only moment fluctuations along the local Ising direction are allowed. We also found that the Dy-Dy dipolar interactions along the crystallographic c axis are two to four times larger than in-plane interactions.
