Abstract: We investigate scattering, localization and dispersive time-decay properties for the one-dimensional Schr"odinger equation with a rapidly oscillating and spatially localized potential, $q_{e}psilon=q(x,x/epsilon)$, where $q(x,y)$ is periodic and mean zero with respect to $y$. Such potentials model a microstructured medium. Homogenization theory fails to capture the correct low-energy ($k$ small) behavior of scattering quantities, e.g. the transmission coefficient, $t^{q_{e}psilon}(k)$, as $epsilon$ tends to zero. We derive an effective potential well, $sigm{a}^{e}psilo{n}_{eff}(x)=-epsilo{n}^{2}Lambd{a}_{eff}(x)$, such that $t^{q_{e}psilon}(k)-t^{sigm{a}^{e}psilo{n}_{eff}}(k)$ is uniformly small on $mathbbR$ and small in any bounded subset of a suitable complex strip. Within such a bounded subset, the scaled transmission coefficient has a universal form, depending on a single parameter, which is computable from the effective potential. A consequence is that if $epsilon$, the scale of oscillation of the microstructure potential, is sufficiently small, then there is a pole of the transmission coefficient (and hence of the resolvent) in the upper half plane, on the imaginary axis at a distance of order $epsilo{n}^2$ from zero. It follows that the Schr"odinger operator $H_{q_{e}psilon}=-partia{l}_x^2+q_{e}psilon(x)$ has an $L^2$ bound state with negative energy situated at a distance $O(epsilo{n}^4)$ from the edge of the continuous spectrum. Finally, we use this detailed information to prove a local energy time-decay estimate of the time-dependent Schr"odinger equation.
