Synthetic engineering of neptunium oxide nanoparticles
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.
