Employing both 57Fe nuclear resonant inelastic X-ray scattering and first principles calculations (DFT), similar to ref. [1], we determined the Fe-projected phonon DOS of the B2-ordered magnetocaloric FeRh compound at temperatures below and above the first-order magneto-structural phase transition from the antiferromagnetic (AFM) to the ferromagnetic (FM) state. Two experimental 57FeRh(001) thin-film samples on MgO(001) with different stoichiometries (AFM and FM, respectively) were studied. Distinct differences between the phonon DOS of the AFM and FM states were found. However, this leads only to very small differences in the T-dependences of the Fe-projected vibrational (lattice) specific heat C(T) and the vibrational entropy S(T), respectively, for the two magnetic states. The experimental Debye-Waller factor indicates that the lattice of the AFM state is softer than in the FM state.
