FeCr2S4 is under investigation for over four decades and shows remarkable magnetic as well as electronic properties. While a paramagnetic state is present at room temperature, for low temperatures long-range ferromagnetic order stets in and is followed by an incommensurate magnetic structure. Below T = 10 K a multiferroic ground state with orbital ordering is reached and IR phonons indicate a loss of inversion symmetry [1][2][3]. We report on the low-frequency optical excitations measured by THz spectroscopy. We measured the magnetic field dependence within the temperature range of orbital ordering and the temperature dependence of the different phases within the H-T-phase diagram for several polarizations of the THz-radiation in relation to the applied magnetic field. We will discuss the origin of the low-energy excitations and their relation with multiferroic properties of FeCr2S4.
