$$gamma$$ rays following the $$alpha$$ decay of $$^{255}$$No have been measured by means of $$alpha$$-$$gamma$$ coincidence spectroscopy to establish neutron single-particle states in odd-mass superheavy nuclei. Seven $$gamma$$ transitions were observed, and excitation energies of the daughter nucleus $$^{251}$$Fm were determined. Spin-parities and neutron single-particle configurations of the excited states in $$^{251}$$Fm as well as the ground state of $$^{255}$$No were identified, and energy spacings and order of neutron single-particle states in N=151 isotones were established. It was found that the N=152 deformed neutron shell gap is larger in Fm and No nuclei than in lighter nuclei of Cf, Cm and Pu, which provides important information to clarify the shell structure of superheavy nuclei.
