In this paper we study the existence of bound state solutions for stationary Schrödinger systems of the form
where , V and K are bounded continuous nonnegative functions, and is a and p-homogeneous function with . We give a special attention to the case when V may eventually vanishes. Our arguments are based on penalization techniques, variational methods and Moser iteration scheme.
