We establish some necessary conditions for a sequence of such solutions to concentrate, in two different senses, around a given point. In the particular but important case of nonlinearities of power type, we prove that the spikes locate at the critical points of a smooth ground energy map independent of $A$.Final revision, accepted for publicationAnalysis of PDEs35J65, 35Q40, 35Q55, 83C50On the location of spikes for the Schrodinger equation with electromagnetic fieldtext
