Pure nanocrystalline antimony powders have been prepared by using γ-ray radiation method in ambient pressure and room temperature. Transmission electron micrographs and X-ray powder diffraction patterns show that the smallest average particle size is 8 nm and the particle size distribution of this sample is from 5 to 25 nm.
