The neutron magnetic moment is -0.966 236 45 x 10-26 J T-1 with a relative uncertainty of 2.5 x 10-7 (one part in 40million).

The magnetic moment is negative which means that the neutron has a tendency to align antiparallel to a Magnetic field rather than align to the field.

The non-zero magnetic moment of the neutron indiciates 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
