in the notation of: N. Hamada, S.-I. Sawada, A. Oshiyama, Phys. Rev. Lett. 68, 1579 (1992). With standard notations, (n,0) and (n,n) nanotubes will be called respectively zigzag and armchair. Cutting these nanotubes perpendicularly to their axis will create two-coordinated «danglin» atoms in the first case and dangling dimers in the second one.
