Muon Spin Relaxation and Rotation (μSR) experiments have been performed on the thio-spinel CuCr2S4 for further clarifying the long-standing controversy regarding its electronic and magnetic states [1,2]. Long regarded as ferromagnet (Tc=378 K) with magnetic moments residing only on Cr, CuCr2S4 is nowadays considered a ferrimagnetic with small magnetic moments on the Cu sites [3]. In addition to the transition at Tc, our μSR data reveal transitions around 50 K and 100 K with changes in spontaneous rotation signals and in relaxation behaviour. There is a close resemblance between these μSR results with those found for Fe1-xCuxCr2S4 with high Cu concentrations [4]. We interpret the transitions with spin re-orientations and will discuss Jahn-Teller effect as a possible reason. [1] F. K. Lotgering et al., J. Phys. Chem.
