/ Abstract
Using surface acoustic waves, the elastomagnetic coupling could be studied in thin single-crystalline plates of the ferrimagnetic semiconductor FeCr2S4 by measuring the attenuation and the frequency tracking in the temperature range of 4.2–200K. The data clearly display the anomalies found in low-field magnetization measurements.
