It has been shown by Kamihara et al. [1] that F doping of the iron oxypnictide LaFeAsO leads to the emergence of superconductivity. Doping of the parent compound with Y on the La site also increases Tc [2], whereas Mn doping on the Fe site has been reported to have a detrimental effect to superconductivity [3,4]. We investigated the interplay of doping by substituting those different positions at the same time. The samples where characterized using EDX, XRD, SQUID and µSR. It was shown that Y doping indeed has a stabilizing effect on the superconductivity even in the presence of small amounts of Mn.
