**Neutron SLD** (|Ang^-2|)

A measure of the neutron scattering power of the material. A required input for most scattering models using in neutron scattering experiments.

**X-ray SLD** (|Ang^-2|)

A measure of the x-ray scattering power of the material. A required input for most scattering models using in x-ray scattering experiments.

**Neutron Incoherent Cross-section** (cm\ :sup:`-1`)

A measure of the probability that the neutron will scatter incoherently.

**Neutron Absorption Cross-Section** (cm\ :sup:`-1`)

A measure of the probability that a neutron will be absorbed by the material.

**Neutron 1/e length** (cm)

The sample thickness required to reduce the transmission to 36.8% (1/e).
