Abstract
The magnetic properties of a carbon nanotube synthesized by chemical vapour deposition have been demonstrated in magnetic force microscopy using a met al current ring, which produces a well-defined magnetic field. The effectiv e dipole and monopole moments of the metal particle at the end of the nanot ubes are 1.8 x 10(-4) emu and 16 emu/cm, respectively. These values are ver y close to that of the conventional tip. This result suggests that the capp ed nanotube tip is useful for a magnetic force microscopy tip in spite of t he minimal size of the particle.
