We have investigated the substitution effects at the rare-earth (R) site in multiferroic RFe$$_{2}$$O$$_{4}$$ (R: Y, Ho-Lu) to explore a new phase of this system. From EXAFS measurements for the R atoms, the large R$$^{3+}$$ ions (such as Dy$$^{3+}$$) was partially substituted in RFe$$_{2}$$O$$_{4}$$. Powder X-ray diffraction showed that this material had a single-phase RFe$$_{2}$$O$$_{4}$$-type structure (space group R-3m). The simulated EXAFS spectrum reproduced the characteristics of the experimental spectrum, confirming that R$$^{3+}$$ is actually settled at the rare earth site. The other results, such as the magnetic properties, will be reported at the conference.
