Abstract In this paper we consider the nonlinear Chern-Simons-Schrödinger equations with general nonlinearity $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle -{\it\Delta} u+\lambda V(|x|)u+\left(\frac{h^2(|x|)}{|x|^2}+\int\limits^{\infty}_{|x|}\frac{h(s)}{s}u^2(s)ds\right)u=f(u),\,\, x\in\mathbb R^2, \end{array}$$ where λ > 0, V is an external potential and $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle h(s)=\frac{1}{2}\int\limits^s_0ru^2(r)dr=\frac{1}{4\pi}\int\limits_{B_s}u^2(x)dx \end{array}$$ is the so-called Chern-Simons term. Assuming that the external potential V is nonnegative continuous function with a potential well Ω := int V–1(0) consisting of k + 1 disjoint components Ω0, Ω1, Ω2 ⋯, Ωk, and the nonlinearity f has a general subcritical growth condition, we are able to establish the existence of sign-changing multi-bump solutions by using variational methods. Moreover, the concentration behavior of solutions as λ → +∞ are also considered.
