Abstract: We study semiclassical states of the nonlinear Dirac equation [ -ihbarpartial_tpsi = ichbarsum_{k=1}^3alpha_kpartial_kpsi - mc^2�eta psi - M(x)psi + f(|psi|)psi,quad tinmathbb{R}, xinmathbb{R}^3, ] where V is a bounded continuous potential function and the nonlinear term f(|psi|)psi is superlinear, possibly of critical growth. Our main result deals with standing wave solutions that concentrate near a critical point of the potential. Standard methods applicable to nonlinear Schr"odinger equations, like Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction or penalization, do not work, not even for the homogeneous nonlinearity f(s)=sp. We develop a variational method for the strongly indefinite functional associated to the problem.
