Nano Particles (NPs) of Neodymium oxide were prepared by homogeneous co-precipitation method using Neodymium nitrate and urea as precursors. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns have been refined by the Rietveld method and the Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) showed that the sample had a band gap about 4.59 eV. On the other hand, the Photoluminescence (PL) spectrum indicated that the sample had a low concentration of singly ionized oxygen vacancies. The paramagnetic property of the NPs has been also tested by Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) measurements.
