We report on systematic investigations of low-lying electric dipole (E1) strength in atomic nuclei. Using the method of real photon scattering the dipole response of all stable N = 82 isotones has been measured with high resolution. In all cases a resonance like structure of E1 strength is observed in the energy region 5-8 MeV, which shows a strong fragmentation. The total integrated strength increases towards the proton poorer isotones, indicating a dependence of the total strength on the neutron-to-proton ratio. The experimental results are compared to microscopic calculations within the Quasi-particle Phonon Model (QPM). By including complex configurations of up to three phonons the calculation is able to reproduce also the fragmentation of the E1 strength and is in good agreement with the experimental observation.
