We report the single step synthesis of SnO{sub 2} nanostructures using high energy mechanical attrition method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern reveals the single phase rutile structure with appreciable broadening of diffraction peaks, which is a signature of nanostructure formation. The average crystallite size of SnO{sub 2} nanostructures has been calculated to be ~15 nm. The micro-Raman study reveals the shifting of A{sub 1g} Raman mode towards lower wave number, which is correlated with the nanostructure formation.
