Abstract

In this Chapter we discuss the use of resonant Raman scattering by acoustic phonons and its applications to the study of the spatial localization and spatial correlation of electronic wavefunctions in low-dimensional semiconductor and metallic systems. Special attention is paid to the simulation of the Raman spectra and their direct comparison with experimental data. We review the basic concepts of this field and results reported in the literature.
