B2 FeRh shows antiferromagnetic ordering in the thermodynamic stable phase, while the disordered structure exhibits a ferromagnetic and paramagnetic ordering. The disordered structure can be induced by ion irradiation [1]. In this work we investigate FeRh thin films for different irradiation fluences of 110 keV Ne+ by Fe K edge Extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectrosopy at low temperatures. For low irradiation fluences, we see an increase of the lattice parameter and an increase of static disorder by analysis of the mean square relative displacement. For higher fluences a change from the bcc to the fcc phase occurs. In addition, XRD measurements show similar behaviour to the EXAFS findings. From magnetometry, we determine an increase of the magnetisation and a shift of the phase transition to lower temperatures with rising irradiation fluence.
