Magnetic susceptibility of Weyl semimetals, placed in a tilted magnetic field, is studied. Weyl semimetals have three contributions: spin, orbital, and spin–orbital; all three contributions are investigated for a tilted magnetic field. We find that spin susceptibility at a low temperature varies linearly with the Fermi energy and is oscillatory function of tilt angle; the orbital part shows diamagnetic divergence at the zero Fermi energy like graphene, and spin–orbital contribution is an even function of the Fermi energy and the tilt angle. Due to the anisotropic nature of the magnetic response, we propose that spin, orbital, and spin–orbital magnetic response can be distinguished by changing the orientation of the applied magnetic field.
