  Resonant Raman scattering in semiconductor quantum dots with spherical shape
is theoretically investigated. The Frohlich-like interaction between electronic
states and optical vibrations has been considered. The Raman profiles are
studied for the following intermediate electronic state models: (I)
Uncorrelated electron-hole pairs in the strong size quantized regime, (II)
Wannier-Mott excitons in an infinite potential well, and (III) Excitons in a
finite confinement barrier. It is shown that the finite confinement barrier
height and the electron-hole correlation determine the absolutes values of the
scattering intensities and substantially modify the Raman line shape, even in
the strong confinement regime.
