Abstract: We consider the discrete eigenvalues of the operator $H_{e}ps=-Delta+V(x)+ep{s}^{2}Q(epsx)$, where $V(x)$ is periodic and $Q(y)$ is localized on $R^d,dge1$. For $eps>0$ and sufficiently small, discrete eigenvalues may bifurcate (emerge) from spectral band edges of the periodic Schr"odinger operator, $H_0=-Delt{a}_x+V(x)$, into spectral gaps. The nature of the bifurcation depends on the homogenized Schr"odinger operator $L_{A,Q}=-abl{a}_{y}cdotAabl{a}_y+Q(y)$. Here, $A$ denotes the inverse effective mass matrix, associated with the spectral band edge, which is the site of the bifurcation.
