Carbon nanotubes can be grown in the DC electric arc, they grow cov­ered by a turbostratic graphite. The mechanism of the tubes growth is dis­cussed. The magnetic susceptibility of samples, which contained aligned nan­otubes exhibits anisotropic oscillatory behavior, which is ascribed to spatial quantization of the energy levels.
