Abstract: We study some spectral properties of a simple two-dimensional model for small angle defects in crystals and alloys. Starting from a periodic potential VcolonR2oR, we let Vheta(x,y)=V(x,y) in the right half-plane xge0 and Vheta=VcircMheta in the left half-plane x<0, where MhetainR2imes2 is the usual matrix describing rotation of the coordinates in R2 by an angle heta. As a main result, it is shown that spectral gaps of the periodic Schr"odinger operator H0=Delta+V fill with spectrum of Rheta=Delta+Vheta as 0ehetao0. Moreover, we obtain upper and lower bounds for a quantity pertaining to an integrated density of states measure for the surface states.
