Investigating the metamagnetic phase transition in FeRh.

FeRh undergoes an AFM-FM phase transition at about room temperature. Associated with a structural (lattice expansion) and resistivity changes amongst other key characteristic changes, this metamagnetic transition positions the material as a potential candidate for applications in memrsistive device development and ultimately neuromorphic computing. The objective of the experiment is to investigate with a nanometric resolution the effects of the transition on the structure of the sample and ultimately correlation with the magnetic properties of the material.
