We study the asymptotic profile, as
ℏ

0
{\hbar\rightarrow 0}
, of positive solutions to
-

}u,\quad x\in\mathbb{R}^{N},
where
γ

{\gamma\geqslant 0}
is a parameter with relevant physical interpretations, V and K are given potentials and the dimension N is greater than or equal to 5, as we look for finite

-energy solutions. We investigate the concentrating behavior of solutions when
γ
>
0
{\gamma>0}
and, differently from the case
γ
=
0
{\gamma=0}
where the leading potential is V, the concentration is here localized by the source potential K. Moreover, surprisingly for
γ
>
0
{\gamma>0}
we find a different concentration behavior of solutions in the case
p
