The prismy YFeO3 with (202)-preferred orientation was successfully synthesized through hydrothermal process at 240 C-a similar to for 9 h with the ratio 1:1 of Y:Fe. The prepared YFeO3 powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), physical properties measurement system (PPMS), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), respectively. The results show the prepared YFeO3 has (202)-preferred orientation. The prismatic YFeO3 powders mainly consist of three elements (Y, Fe, and O), and atom ratio matched well with the formula. YFeO3 can simultaneously present obvious weak ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic properties. In addition, the N,el temperature of YFeO3 is 349 C-a similar to.
