contents We compute the second-order correction to the electronic dispersion relation of a free electron gas interacting with an effective electron-dislocation potential, derived from a modern quantized theory of dislocations. Our results demonstrate that dislocation patterning induces anisotropic flat bands in the electronic dispersion under specific strain fields and directions, referred to as ``magic'' parameters. These flat bands acquire non-zero curvature as the strain or direction deviates from these magic parameters.
