(Prior Art) As is well known, when a carbonaceous raw material such as heavy oil, tar, and pitch is heated to 350 to 500 ° C., an optically polarized substance having a particle diameter of several microns to several hundreds of microns is included in these substances. Small spheres that show direction are generated. Then, upon further heating, these small spheres grow and coalesce, and finally the whole becomes a state exhibiting optical anisotropy. This anisotropic structure is formed by stacking and orienting high molecular weight aromatic hydrocarbons produced by a thermal polycondensation reaction of a carbonaceous raw material in layers, and is regarded as a precursor of a graphite crystal structure.
