Abstract

We have carried out dc magnetic susceptibility, magnetization and specific-heat measurements on thiospinel $Cu Cr Zr S_{4}$ . Below $T_{C}^{*} = 51 K$ , dc magnetic susceptibility and magnetization data show ferromagnetic behavior with a small spontaneous magnetization $0.36 μ_{B} ∕ f.u$ . In dc magnetic susceptibility, large and weak irreversibilities are observed below $T_{f} = 6 K$ and in the range $T_{f} < T < T_{C}^{*}$ , respectively. We found that there is no anomaly as a peak or step in the specific heat at $T_{C}^{*}$ .
