We study the pure infiniteness of C* -crossed products by endomorphisms and automorphisms. Let A be a purely infinité simple unital C*-algebra. At first we show that a crossed product A × p N by a corner endomorphism p is purely infinite if it is simple. From this observation we prove that any simple C*-crossed products A ×αZ by an automorphism α is purely infinite. Combining this with the result in [Je] on pure infiniteness of crossed products by finite groups, one sees that if α is an outer action by a countable abelian group G then the simple C*-algebra A ×α G is purely infinite.
