Abstract
Carbon nanotubes were suspended in carbon tetrachloride and placed in magnetic fields of <80.0 kOe at 310 K. Scanning electron microscopy showed that a single and free nanotube was oriented with the tube axis parallel to the fields. From the Boltzmann distribution of tube directions, the anisotropy of susceptibilities parallel (χ∥) and perpendicular (χ⊥) to the tube axis is estimated to be χ∥ − χ⊥ ∼ (9 ± 5) × 10-6 emu per mole of carbon atoms (χ⊥ < χ∥ < 0).
