Iron-rhodium (FeRh) undergoes a metamagnetic phase transition form the antiferromagnetic to the ferromagnetic phase at a temperature around 370 K. This makes FeRh potentially interesting to many magnetic-oriented branches of industry. One of the techniques, that allows for detailed analysis of both of these magnetic phases is transmission electron microscopy (TEM). This technique is well-known for reaching atomic resolution, but it has many more uses, such as structural, chemical, magnetic and many other types of analysis. However, crucial for any successful TEM measurement is the preparation of samples. Several TEM sample fabrication techniques use focused ion beam (FIB) providing different specimen structural damage and resulting sample geometry. This thesis focuses on imaging the phase transition in FeRh using TEM and assessing the influence of sample fabrication process via FIB on several TEM sample geometries. It was observed that ion irradiation can change or completely remove the phase transition even for doses lower than those used during sample fabrication.
