dc.description.abstract The as-synthesized nanowires and nanobelts usually have a large size distribution. We demonstrate here a ball milling technique for narrowing the size distribution of oxide nanobelts and nanowires. High-resolution scanning and transmission electron microscopy reveals that the one-dimensional SnO₂ nanostructures with size >150 nm are sensitive to the milling effect and most of them were fractured into nanoparticles even after a short-time milling. These nanoparticles contain magnetic Fe components, which could be effectively separated from those nanobelts by employing a magnetic field. This feature promises a potentials application in the nanostructured materials separation. It was also found that the dominant size of the survived nanostructures is <100 nm. The good mechanical behavior of the nanostructures are not only related to the superior mechanical toughness due to small size, but also related to the low defect density. en
