The effect of opposite sign of interactions in a single-walled Ising nanotube is investigated using the Wang–Landau algorithm. The thermodynamic observables are calculated from the estimated density of states (DOS) with and without the presence of an external magnetic field. Irrespective of the applied magnetic field, a symmetric trend of DOS is observed for opposite sign of interactions which is in contrast to the asymmetric trend for same sign of interactions. Further, two types of antiferromagnetic (AFM) orderings, namely A-type and C-type antiferromagnetic order, are observed for opposite sign of interactions. These AFM spin orientations are switched to ferromagnetic (FM) phase by increasing the applied magnetic field (B). However, the spin ordering changes from the ordered AFM/FM phase to a disordered paramagnetic phase by increasing the temperature. Phase diagram shows that these three phases coexist around 
. This study indicates that, by properly tuning the magnetic properties, the single-walled nanotube can be used for fabrication of new types of magnetic storage nanomaterials.
