A first-order differential equation of Green's function, at the origin G(0), for the one-dimensional lattice is derived by simple recurrence relation. Green's function at site (m) is then calculated in terms of G(0). A simple recurrence relation connecting the lattice Green's function at the site (m, n) and the first derivative of the lattice Green's function at the site (m ± 1, n) is presented for the two-dimensional lattice, a differential equation of second order in G(0, 0) is obtained. By making use of the latter recurrence relation, lattice Green's function at an arbitrary site is obtained in closed form. Finally, the phase shift and scattering cross-section are evaluated analytically and numerically for one- and two-impurities.

Mixed-stack charge-transfer (CT) complexes undergoing the neutral-ionic (N-I) phase transition are molecular materials formed of stacks where electron donor (D) and acceptor (A) molecules regularly alternate. In the N phase, the CT is low and molecules are situated on inversion centers, while in the I phase, the increase of CT is accompanied by a lattice distortion (dimerization process and symmetry breaking). The one-dimensional (1D) architecture triggers the chain multistability by stabilizing lattice-relaxed (LR)-CT excitations ...D° A° D° A° $(D^+A^-)(D^+A^-)(D^+A^-)$ Do A" D° A° D°... These 1D nano-scale objects are at the heart of the equilibrium N-I phase transition and govern the fascinating physical properties such as giant dielectric response or photo-induced phase transformations. In this contribution, the 1D character of these critical excitations will be demonstrated by direct observation using high resolution X-Ray diffraction.
