In this paper it is shown that there is a unimodal Levy process with oscillating mode. After the author first constructed an example of such a self-decomposable process, Sato pointed out that it belongs to the class of semi-stable processes with β < 0. We prove that all non-symmetric semi-stable self-decomposable processes with β < 0 have oscillating modes.
