We consider in
$ \mathbb R^3 $
 the singularly perturbed Schrödinger-Poisson system
$ \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} - \varepsilon^2\Delta v+V(x)v+\phi(x)v = f(v)\\ - \Delta\phi = v^2 . \end{cases} \end{equation*} $
Using variational techniques, we construct solutions which concentrate around the saddle points of the external potential
$ V $
, as
$ \varepsilon \rightarrow 0 $
.
Keywords: Nonlinear Schrödinger equations, singular perturbation, semiclassical states, variational methods.
