Abstract
The introduction of modified bond-defects in spin-Peierls systems is investigated in a model of antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin chains coupled to adiabatic phonons. Generically, new low-energy magnetic or non-magnetic excitations appear below the bulk spin gap energy. When two adjacent bonds are modified, these excitations can be interpreted in terms of boundstates of a soliton with the localized spin-1/2 located on the impurity site. It is shown that the confining potential occurs even in the case of {\it isolated} chains.
