In this paper we consider the vector-valued operator div$ (Q\nabla u)-Vu $ of Schrödinger type. Here $ V = (v_{ij}) $ is a nonnegative, locally bounded, matrix-valued function and $ Q $ is a symmetric, strictly elliptic matrix whose entries are bounded and continuously differentiable with bounded derivatives. Concerning the potential $ V $, we assume an that it is pointwise accretive and that its entries are in $ L^\infty_{{\rm loc}}( \mathbb{R}^d) $. Under these assumptions, we prove that a realization of the vector-valued Schrödinger operator generates a $ C_0 $-semigroup of contractions in $ L^p( \mathbb{R}^d; \mathbb{C}^m) $. Further properties are also investigated.

Keywords: System of PDE, Schrödinger operator, strongly continuous semigroup, domain characterization.
