Using surface acoustic waves, the elastomagnetic coupling could be studied inthin single crystalline plates of the ferrimagnetic semiconductor FeCr2S4 bymeasuring the attenuation and the frequency tracking in the temperature range4.2 K to 200 K. The data clearly display the anomalies found in low-fieldmagnetization measurements.Comment: 15 pages, 3 figures. To appear in J. Appl. Phys., 99 (2006
