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 $Vcolon{R}^{2}oR$, we let $V_{h}eta(x,y)=V(x,y)$ in the right half-plane $xge0$ and $V_{h}eta=Vcirc{M}_{-heta}$ in the left half-plane $x<0$, where $M_{h}etain{R}^{2imes2}$ is the usual matrix describing rotation of the coordinates in $R^2$ by an angle $heta$. As a main result, it is shown that spectral gaps of the periodic Schr"odinger operator $H_0=-Delta+V$ fill with spectrum of $R_{h}eta=-Delta+V_{h}eta$ as $0ehetao0$. Moreover, we obtain upper and lower bounds for a quantity pertaining to an integrated density of states measure for the surface states.
