Kawanami, N. Sano, T. Miyamoto, A. Mineshige, T. Murakami, H. Harima] The method using arc discharge in liquid is a simple and inexpensive route for synthesis of carbon nanotubes and other related nano-materials. In this study, we report the synthesis of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) by means of the arc-in-water method under extremely low gravity conditions. The strong heat convection caused by the arc plasma is suppressed under such conditions. Therefore, the boiling flow behavior and temperature distribution have been stabilized in low gravity. As a result, the possibility of the chirality control of SWCNTs by applying extremely low gravity was revealed; namely, the yield of semiconducting SWCNTs was increased and several SWCNTs of specific diameters turned out to be prominent under extremely low gravity conditions.
