The current part presents a series of new definitions that form the basis for the discussions in the subsequent sections.
Definition 17. A neutrosophic set W in a neutrosophic topological space is said to be neutrosphic regular open if and only if .
Definition 18. A neutrosophic point is said to be a neutrosophic δ-cluster point of a neutrosophic set E if and only if every neutrosophic regular open q-neighborhood T of is q-coincident with E. The set of all neutrosophic δ-cluster points of E is called the neutrosophic δ-closure of E and is denoted by .

In any neutrosophic topological space , the set is a neutrosophic δ-closed set for any neutrosophic set E. In other words, .
Definition 21. A function is called neutrosophic δ-continuous (abbreviated as n. δ.c.) if, for every neutrosophic point in X and any regular open q-neighborhood V of in Y, there exists a regular open q-neighborhood U of such that is contained in V.
Remark 2. A function is considered neutrosophic δ-continuous if, for every neutrosophic δ-open set T in Q, the preimage is neutrosophic δ-open in U. Thus, the composition of two neutrosophic δ-continuous functions remains neutrosophic δ-continuous.

4. Neutrosophic -Separation Axioms
In this section, we introduce new separation axioms by utilizing the concept of neutrosophic -open sets. Regarding neutrosophic disjointness, we know that implies , but the converse does not necessarily hold. Based on this principle, we now define a new set of neutrosophic -separation axioms.
Definition 28. A neutrosophic topological space U is called neutrosophic whenever, for any pair of neutrosophic points and with distinct supports in U, there exists a neutrosophic δ-open set T such that or .
The separation axiom defined here differs from the neutrosophic axiom, as demonstrated in the following example. Consider . It is clear that σ forms a neutrosophic topology on U, and the set of all neutrosophic δ-open sets in is . Therefore, for any two distinct neutrosophic points in , there exists a neutrosophic open subset of U that contains one point but not the other. As a result, is neutrosophic , but it is not neutrosophic .
Theorem 3. Given that is injective and neutrosophic δ-continuous, and that Q is neutrosophic , it follows that U must also be neutrosophic .

Given that Q is neutrosophic , there exists a neutrosophic -open set T, such that or . Therefore, we have or . Moreover, since r is neutrosophic -continuous, is a neutrosophic -open set. Hence, U is neutrosophic . □
Definition 29. In the case of a neutrosophic topological space U, it is termed neutrosophic whenever, for any two neutrosophic points and with distinct supports in U, there exist two neutrosophic δ-open sets and such that and .
Example 1. Let and , where is the neutrosophic point with membership value p, indeterminacy value p, and non-membership value at the support t. Then, clearly σ is a neutrosophic topology and all elements in σ are neutrosophic regular open, so they are neutrosophic δ-open. Take any two neutrosophic points and where r and p are nonzero. Then, there is a neutrosophic δ-open set such that , and is an only neutrosophic δ-open set with . Clearly, for any p, . Hence is neutrosophic , but it is not neutrosophic .
Theorem 4. A space U is neutrosophic if and only if every crisp neutrosophic point in U is neutrosophic δ-closed.
Proof. Consider U as a neutrosophic space. For a crisp neutrosophic point in U, we aim to show that is neutrosophic -open. Choose a neutrosophic point with a different support from . Since U is neutrosophic , there exists a neutrosophic -open set T such that . Thus, we can express as . Since the union of these neutrosophic -open sets is neutrosophic -open, it follows that is neutrosophic -open. Therefore, is neutrosophic -closed. □
Corollary 1. Let U be a neutrosophic topological space. U is neutrosophic if and only if .
Theorem 5. Consider as an injective and neutrosophic δ-continuous function. Provided that Q is neutrosophic , it follows that U is also neutrosophic .
Proof. Consider two neutrosophic points and in U with distinct supports. Since r is injective, and are neutrosophic points in Q that have different supports. Given that Q is neutrosophic , there exist two neutrosophic -open sets and , where and . As a result, and are neutrosophic -open sets in U, and we have and . This shows that U is neutrosophic . □
Definition 30. Given any two neutrosophic points and with distinct supports in U, a neutrosophic space U is called neutrosophic δ-Hausdorff or neutrosophic when there exist neutrosophic δ-open sets and such that , , and .
It is clear that a neutrosophic space is also a neutrosophic space.
Theorem 6. Assume that is a neutrosophic space. When the complement of each neutrosophic δ-open set is also neutrosophic δ-open, becomes a neutrosophic space.
Proof. Consider two neutrosophic points and in U with different supports. Since U is neutrosophic , there exists a neutrosophic -open set T satisfying or . Suppose . Then, it follows that . By the given condition, is neutrosophic -open. Therefore, is neutrosophic . □
Theorem 7. When satisfies that the crisp neutrosophic point is neutrosophic δ-open in , it follows that is neutrosophic .
Proof. Consider two neutrosophic points and with distinct supports. In this case, and . It is evident that , and based on this assumption, and are neutrosophic -open. Therefore, is neutrosophic . □
Theorem 8. When is injective and neutrosophic δ-continuous, and Q is neutrosophic , it implies that U is also neutrosophic .
Proof. Consider two points and in U with different supports. As f is injective, and are neutrosophic points in Q with distinct supports. Given that Q is neutrosophic , there exist neutrosophic -open sets and such that , , and . Consequently, and are neutrosophic -open sets in U satisfying , , and . Thus, U is neutrosophic . □
Definition 31. In the context of neutrosophic topology, a space U is described as neutrosophic δ-regular when, given a neutrosophic point in U and a neutrosophic δ-closed set K such that , there exist neutrosophic δ-open sets and satisfying , , and . Additionally, U is identified as neutrosophic when it meets the conditions of being both neutrosophic δ-regular and neutrosophic .
It is straightforward to demonstrate that any neutrosophic space is also neutrosophic .
It is well established that for every neutrosophic closed set C, is a neutrosophic regular open set. Consequently, it is also neutrosophic δ-open. Hence, the following theorem holds true.

Example 2. Let and, for each , , , , for all . Meanwhile, let . Then, σ is a neutrosophic topology and each is neutrosophic δ-open. Therefore, σ is neutrosophic δ-normal and neutrosophic δ-regular. However, it is not neutrosophic . So, it is neither neutrosophic nor neutrosophic .
Example 3. Let and, for each , Let σ be a neutrosophic topology on U generated by the subbase . Then, σ is a neutrosophic topology and for all . So, every is neutrosophic δ-open. Similarly, every is also neutrosophic δ-open. Therefore, is neutrosophic and also neutrosophic .
