Excited states of the nuclei 122, 126, 130Te were populated
via the (gamma, gamma') reaction at endpoint energies of the bremsstrahlung
between 4.5 and 5.5 MeV. Gamma rays were detected with a EUROBALL CLUSTER
detector and a single HPGe detector. In all investigated nuclei two or
three prominent dipole transitions were identified at Egammaca.
3 MeV. The corresponding low-lying J=1 states are interpreted as two-phonon
excitations. Quasiparticle-phonon-model calculations predict at about 3
MeV on 1- state arising from coupling of the first quadrupole
and the first octupole phonon, and one 1+ state arising from
the coupling of the first and the second quadrupole phonon, where the latter
has isovector character. Such an excitation mode can be considered as an
analogue of the scissors mode in vibrational nuclei. The calculated transition
strengths are compatible with experimental ones within a factor of about
1.5.
