Since the publication of the fundamental papers by Lifshitz (1, 2) and Montroll and Potts (3, 4) many authors have investigated the effect of an isotopic impurity on the lattice vibrations of a harmonic crystal at zero temperature. A fairly broad knowledge is now available on scattering amplitudes, localized modes and resonance modes (6, 7). Nevertheless, as pointed out by Maradudin and Montroll (see (7), p. 430), a closed form solution to the problem has been found only for the one-dimensional crystal, the work done on two and three-dimensional crystals being predominantly numerical. Unfortunately the one-dimensional crystal, as an approximation for a real crystal is an oversimplified model, incapable as it is of exhibiting resonance modes. To the author's knowledge the most significant exact result concerning the classical behaviour at zero temperature of crystals having a dimensionality higher than one is the connexion, calculated by Mahanty et al. (5) between localized mode frequency and impurity mass for the case of a square lattice undergoing planar vibrations.

Abstract Antimony trisulfide (Sb2S3) represents a kind of emerging light-harvesting material with excellent stability and abundant elemental storage. Due to the low-symmetry, theoretical investigation has pointed out that there exists complicated defect properties. However, there is no experimental verification on the defect property. Here, we conduct optical deep-level transient spectroscopy to investigate defect properties in Sb2S3 and show that there are maximum three kinds of deep level defects observed, depending on the composition of Sb2S3. We also find that the Sb-interstitial (Sbi) defect does not show critical influence on the carrier lifetime, indicating the high tolerance of the one-dimensional crystal structure where the space of (Sb4S6)n ribbons is able to accommodate impurities to certain extent. This work provides basic understanding on the defect properties of quasi-one-dimensional materials and a guidance for the efficiency improvement of Sb2S3 solar cells.

The relation between authoritarianism and social dominance orientation was analyzed, with authoritarianism measured using a three-dimensional scale. The implicit multidimensional structure (authoritarian submission, conventionalism, authoritarian aggression) of Altemeyer’s (1981, 1988) conceptualization of authoritarianism is inconsistent with its one-dimensional methodological operationalization. The dimensionality of authoritarianism was investigated using confirmatory factor analysis in a sample of 713 university students. As hypothesized, the three-factor model fit the data significantly better than the one-factor model. Regression analyses revealed that only authoritarian aggression was related to social dominance orientation. That is, only intolerance of deviance was related to high social dominance, whereas submissiveness was not.

Adiabatic large polarons in anisotropic molecular crystals We study the large polaron whose motion is confined to a single chain in a system composed of the collection of parallel molecular chains embedded in threedimensional lattice. It is found that the interchain coupling has a significant impact on the large polaron characteristics. In particular, its radius is quite larger while its effective mass is considerably lighter than that estimated within the one-dimensional models. We believe that our findings should be taken into account for the proper understanding of the possible role of large polarons in the charge and energy transfer in quasi-one-dimensional substances.
