Abstract
We study a Schrödinger equation modeling the dynamics of an electron in a crystal in the asymptotic regime of small wave-length comparable to the characteristic scale of the crystal. Using Floquet Bloch decomposition, we obtain a description of the limit of time averaged energy densities. We make a rather general assumption assuming that the initial data are uniformly bounded in a high order Sobolev spaces and that the crossings between Bloch modes are at worst conical. We show that despite the singularity they create, conical crossing do not trap the energy and do not prevent dispersion. We also investigate the interactions between modes that can occurred when there are some degenerate crossings between Bloch bands.
