Abstract.
In this paper we study the operator \( H_\beta = - \Delta - \beta\delta(\cdot - \Gamma) \) in¶\( L^2(\mathbb{R}^2) \), where \( \Gamma \) is a smooth periodic curve in \( \mathbb{R}^2 \). We obtain the asymptotic form of the band spectrum of \( H_\beta \) as \( \beta \) tends to infinity. Furthermore, we prove the existence of the band gap of \( \sigma(H_\beta) \) for sufficiently large \( \beta > 0 \). Finally, we also derive the spectral behaviour for \( \beta \rightarrow \infty \) in the case when \( \Gamma \) is non-periodic and asymptotically straight.
