Kinetic energy of a free neutron.
Notes:
  1. Neutron energy is usually given with unit electronvolt (\(\pu{eV}\)). \(\pu{1 eV} = \pu{1.602176634E-19 J}\).
  2. Neutron temperature has unit kelvin, and the term should not be used for the neutron energy.
  3. Neutrons are classified according to their energies as follows:
