The effect of gamma ray irradiation on the structural and transport properties of polycrystalline bulk samples of PrFe{sub 1−x}Mn{sub x}O{sub 3} (x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.5) were investigated. The samples were synthesized by solid state reaction method and exposed to {sup 60}Co gamma radiation to accumulated dose of 625 KGy. From the Raman study, the modes exhibit a blue shift with broadening of spectral features in the irradiated samples. The dielectric constant (ε′) was also studied as a function of frequency. The dielectric constant and ac conductivity increases with Mn doping but decrease on irradiation. Exposure to gamma radiation results in substantial modification in the physical properties of these compounds.
