In this work, manganese (Mn)-doped YFeO, i.e., YFMO powders with 0 ≤ ≤ 0.1, was synthesized by a hydrothermal method to study the influences of doping on its structural, morphological, optical, magnetic, and local electrical properties. The experimental results show that all the samples exhibit an orthorhombic structure with space group . Refined structure parameters are presented. Morphology images show the shape evolution from layered to multilayered with increasing Mn content. Infrared spectra reveal the characteristic vibrations of the obtained YFMO samples. From the magnetic study, an increased magnetic moment in the range of 0 ≤ ≤ 0.075 is observed. The Fe and Y -edge local structure studies indicate that the valency of Fe and Y is mainly found in the trivalent state, which also indicates that the substitution of Mn ions not only affects the nearest neighbor atomic shell of Fe but also affects the nearest neighbor's local structure of Y atoms. Our results show that the addition of Mn exhibits an evident influence on the local structural and magnetic properties.
