Conductivity measurements were carried out on Mn-doped PZT ceramics in order to investigate the changes in defect chemistry with annealing, by identifying the charge carriers such as lead or oxygen vacancies. PZT compositions were prepared by sol-gel method in rhombohedral region Pb(Zr_(0.56)Ti_(0.44))O_3 with Mn contents 0.4, 0.8, 1.5 and 2 wt.%. Nano-sized powder (~21nm) was obtained after calcination and bulk density values of > 98% were achieved upon sintering. It was found that nitrogen annealing reduced the electrical conductivity strongly as compared to oxygen and air annealing and the possible charge carriers were single ionised oxygen vacancies V_O~· along with V_O~(··) and V_(pb)~(//)acancies.
