Since the conventional method for synthesizing single-walled carbon nanotubes is configured as described above, it has the following problems. That is, in the arc discharge method of FIG. 2, since a part of the carbon electrode 16 is evaporated, a large amount of evaporation product is synthesized, but this evaporation product is only scattered in the synthesis chamber 1 and is a single-wall carbon nanotube. Since the reaction field required for growth of 12 cannot be maintained for a long time, the ratio of the single-walled carbon nanotubes 12 contained in the evaporation product is low, and it is difficult to obtain a large amount. Further, in the laser evaporation method of FIG. 3, the evaporation amount of the carbon pellets 20 by the laser beam 21 is very small, so that it is difficult to produce a large amount of single-walled carbon nanotubes. The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method and an apparatus for synthesizing single-wall carbon nanotubes capable of synthesizing a large number of single-wall carbon nanotubes in a high yield. .
