Recently we reported on the formation of an adaptive martensite structure observed in chemically disordered, equiatomic FeRh thin films which were subject to large epitaxial strains [1]. A magnetically disordered ground state of the resulting structure was predicted from density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In this contribution we will show by means of low temperature conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy that the strain induced structural change leads to a magnetic spin glass state at low temperature in agreement with DFT calculations. Additionally, structural and magnetic characterization of thin films with different FexRh1−x composition will be presented. The observed magnetic and strain adaption behavior is discussed with respect to the equilibrium binary alloy phase diagram and the existing metastable phases.
