We study the existence and stability of the standing waves of two coupled Schr¨odinger equations with potentials |x|bi (bi 2 R, i = 1, 2). Under suitable conditions on the growth of the nonlinear terms, we first establish the existence of standing waves of the Schr¨odinger system by solving a L2-normalized minimization problem, then prove that the set of all minimizers of this minimization problem is stable. Finally, we obtain the least energy solutions by the Nehari method and prove that the orbit sets of these least energy solutions are unstable, which generalizes the results of [11] where b1 = b2 = 2.
