Neutron magnetic moment
The neutron magnetic moment is (-1.9130427 \pm .0000005)\mu_N, where \mu_N is the nuclear magneton.[1]
The magnetic moment is negative which means that the neutron has a tendency to align antiparallel to a magnetic field rather than parallel to the field.
The non-zero magnetic moment of the neutron indicates that it is not an elementary particle, as it carries no net charge but still interacts with a magnetic field.
The Lande g-factor for the Neutron is -3.826 085 46 +- 0.000 000 90
