Abstract
Spherical neptunium oxide nanoparticles in the 40–200 nm size range are synthesized through a homogeneous precipitation approach. These particles and their suspensions are characterized with various spectroscopic and microscopic analyses. This work bridges a gap in available size regimes for structure–property relationships in nuclear materials.
