We report on magnetic, optical, and thermodynamic properties of multiferroic CoCr2O4 in magnetic fields up to 14 T. We have found indications of a new phase transition at T = 5 − 6 K. The phase between T and the lock-in transition at 15 K is characterized by magnetic irreversibility. At higher fields the irreversibility increases. Heat-capacity measurements confirm the transition at T, and also show the irreversible behaviour. We construct a field-temperature phase diagram of CoCr2O4. Below the ferrimagnetic transition (94 K), the low-frequency (terahertz) optical response is dominated by a magnetic exchange mode, which shows an anomalous temperature dependence and a softening at the structural transition (26 K).
